Who is aunty jack

When O'Donoghue wasn't exercising, he was composing music. His adult children saw a dad who was productive and content, relishing in his passions.

O'Donoghue was no longer able to exercise and use endorphins to keep his illness in check. He spiralled and fell into a delusional state. As it progressed, O'Donoghue started seeing things that weren't there, the devil was in the water so he couldn't swim anymore.
