Emmerdale’s Dan Spencer recently pleaded guilty in court without knowing Lloyd had died from his injuries after he punched him last month
Emmerdale’s Dan Spencer’s life was turned upside down again on Friday night as he received more devastating news after Lloyd’s death. Fans will recall that Dan recently landed himself in serious trouble with the law after he punched his daughter Amelia Spencer’s online stalker, Lloyd, which resulted in the latter being left in a coma in a hospital with a serious head injury.
Dan, who has been arrested and charged over the incident, headed to court on Thursday where he pleaded guilty to the charges against him in a shocking twist. However, what Dan didn’t realise, is at the exact same time he pleaded guilty in court, Lloyd was pronounced dead in hospital.
On Friday’s episode, Dan was taken to the police station where he was told Lloyd died due to a rebleed on the brain from the injury Dan had originally given him. He was then officially charged with “unlawfully killing” Lloyd, “contrary to common law”.
He later told Amelia that he had been charged with manslaughter, he added: “I have to face up to the fact that one way or another, I’m going to prison. According to my solicitor, between three and eight years… it’s okay love, I’ll be fine, I can get through anything as long as I’ve got you and Esther.”
