Lance Reddick, famous for his roles in The Wire and John Wick franchise, died from Ischemic Heart Disease, RadarOnline.com has learned.

The actor's immediate cause of death at the age of 60 was revealed weeks after fans were rocked by news of his sudden passing.

As we previously reported, Reddick was tragically found dead at his home in Studio City on March 17 after his wife, Stephanie, called 911 upon discovering him in their backyard.

Stephanie mourned the death of her longtime love in a message shared via his official Instagram account the following day, expressing her appreciation for the heartfelt messages she had received in the wake of his passing.

"Lance was taken from us far too soon. Thank you for all your overwhelming love, support and beautiful stories shared on these platforms over the last day," she wrote.

"I see your messages and can't begin to express how grateful I am to have them," Stephanie concluded. "And to the thousands of Destiny players who played in special tribute to Lance, thank you. Lance loved you as much as he loved the game."

Stephanie said those who wanted to donate could send them to waldenschool.org, a music camp that prides itself in "changing lives."
