David Lynch, the acclaimed filmmaker, writer, and artist, has died at 78, his family announced. No cause of death was disclosed, though he had previously revealed an emphysema diagnosis.

Born in 1946 in Montana, Lynch began his artistic career in painting before transitioning to film. His debut Eraserhead became a cult hit, leading to mainstream success with The Elephant Man. Though Dune flopped, Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks cemented his legacy.
Beyond film, Lynch explored music, painting, and transcendental meditation, founding the David Lynch Foundation. Married four times, he had four children.
