Damn shame, I really liked him in Bosch and the John Wick series. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | ||

That really is a shame. He was indeed a very memorable character in most anything I've seen him in. Died of natural causes at 60.

RIP. I'm interpreting "suddenly" combined with "natural causes" as mutually exclusive at that young of an age. | |||

One of my favorite actors. Stellar in every role he's ever been in ________________________________________________ | |||

That’s what I knew him from, he always looked to be in good shape too. I guess you never know. | |||

He had a comedic side, too: https://youtu.be/GU-2C8Ec6co "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

The leading causes of death by far for US men age 55-64 are heart disease and cancer. I don't understand why you think it's unlikely for a 60 y/o man to suddenly die of natural causes. | |||

Very sad to hear. I remember, a good friend, a Fireman, who has since past, told me he was American. He pulled off that accent so well in John Wick, so natural, I had no idea. Haven’t seen him in much but what I did see him in, he was excellent. RIP. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Both sad and Astonishing. He had posted a brief video on Twitter just a day before and was typical Lance with no signs or issues? ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

He was great as Agent/Colonel Phillip Broyles on “Fringe,” which we’re re-watching on HBO Max. That is a great show well worth watching. | |||

Probably for the same reason I'm thinking this makes no sense. Dying at 60 of "natural causes" makes no sense. This isn't 1723. If a heart attack at 60 was considered natural causes, we would hear this all the time, but I can't recall the last time I've heard "natural causes" for anyone under 90. This term is usually applied to very aged people- those who have lived well past the average life expectancy, which today is 79 years of age. | |||

All true. I wish I'd known "Fringe" was re-airing on Spectrum cable's HLNHD (Hallmark?). Like too many shows, it kinda went off the rails by the end but fun getting to that point. Set the controls for the heart of the Sun. | |||

A very memorable actor for sure! The look, voice and stature; you couldn't help but notice his role. Sorry to see him go and the older I get, the more I think 60 is way too young!This message has been edited. Last edited by: 6guns, | |||

A publicist isn't a medical examiner/pathologist and the decedent certainly hasn't yet had a completed autopsy. With this in mind, the announcement by the publicist is premature. Being 60 years old is certainly not presumptive of anything and unless he was receiving care by a physician for a significant medical condition that would allow the doctor to sign off on a death certificate, this becomes a "Coroner's Case" and an autopsy will occur soon. Regardless of the preliminary results, there will also be blood work and toxicological follow-up that could take weeks. Regardless of the above, I really liked Mr. Reddick's acting abilities and enjoyed his characters' portrayals in The Wire and Bosh. He was spot on in tone and gave a depth of his characters that was very impressive and realistic. I'm very sad that the man's life ended just when he seemed to be enjoying such an appreciation of his talent.
