Lance Reddick’s cause of death is disputed by family attorney

TO UPDATE: Actor Lance Reddick’s family disagrees with a coroner’s conclusion about the cause of his death.

Previous reports linked Reddick’s death to heart disease. However, a lawyer representing the family says the cause of death was not proven by an autopsy and is not consistent with Reddick’s habits and condition.

Attorney James Hornstein claimed Reddick is “the most physically fit person I’ve ever known.” He said the actor worked out daily at his home gym, did extensive cardio and followed a strict diet. He said Reddick requested “fitness facility availability” as a “contractual requirement” when working from home.

“The information on the death certificate is completely inconsistent with his lifestyle,” Hornstein said. “In the name of [Lance’s wife] Stephanie Reddick, the information on the death certificate is unconfirmed and does not match facts known to the family.”

It is unclear whether further steps will be taken after the statement.
