Theresa received the dreaded call from one of La’Mont’s colleagues, who informed her about the accident.
On the morning of November 15, when La’Mont de Nysschen kissed his wife, Theresa goodbye, little did she know it was the last time she would see him alive.
29 year old La’Mont died in a freak motorcycle accident on Allen Street, during the massive storm experienced in parts of Newcastle that afternoon.
The father of three-year-old son Du’Mondt, was travelling on Allen Street when tragedy struck.

An eyewitness gave an account of the incident to the family. It was reported that lighting struck, and La’Mont immediately fell off his bike.
The cause of his death remained uncertain.
“I spoke to him earlier that day and asked if he wanted anything to eat. He requested an energy drink and asked me to buy some pumpkin, as it’s our son’s favourite food. When I tried calling him a little after 4pm, he didn’t answer,” said an emotional Theresa.
