‘The Wire’ star Lance Reddick’s attorney disputes ‘inconsistent’ cause of death

Lance Reddick’s attorney is disputing the “Wire” star’s cause of death, calling it “wholly inconsistent with his lifestyle.”

Reddick’s death certificate listed ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease as the cause, but lawyer James Hornstein says an autopsy was never performed on his client.

“The coroner statement on the death certificate is not a result of an autopsy. No autopsy was performed on Lance. To my knowledge, no medical examination of Lance during his lifetime ever indicated such conditions,” Hornstein said in a statement to People Thursday.

“Lance was the most physically fit person I’ve ever known,” the attorney continued. “He exercised daily at his home gym, including extensive cardio work, and the availability of gym facilities was a contractual requirement for his work away from home.

“He ate as if a dietician was monitoring his every meal. The information appearing on the death certificate is wholly inconsistent with his lifestyle.”

Hornstein concluded his statement by noting that the “John Wick” star’s widow, Stephanie Reddick, also feels “the death certificate information is not corroborated and is inconsistent with the facts known to the family.”

Reddick was found dead on March 17 at his home in Studio City, Calif. He was 60 years old.

Law enforcement sources previously told TMZ that the actor died of “natural causes.”

The “Bosch” actor’s death came as he was busy promoting “John Wick: Chapter 4.” He had raised eyebrows when he failed to attend the film’s New York City premiere, which took place just days before his death.

At another premiere event, franchise star Keanu Reeves honored Reddick by wearing a blue ribbon.

“He was a beautiful person, a special artist [and] a man of grace and dignity [with] such a passion for his craft,” the “Speed” star, 58, shared.

“To have had the chance to work with him over the 10 years and four films [in the franchise] is something very special to me. It f–king sucks he’s not here.”
