Lance Reddick, famous for his work on HBO's "The Wire" and the "John Wick" movie franchise has died ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Lance's body was discovered at his Studio City home Friday morning around 9:30 AM. His cause of death is currently unclear, but our law enforcement sources say it appears to be natural.

Lance had been doing a press tour for the fourth installment of the 'John Wick' franchise -- he plays Charon in the movie -- and had a guest appearance scheduled for next week on Kelly Clarkson's show.

FINAL DAYS

Lance posted a selfie video on social media Wednesday morning, appearing to be at home with his dogs instead of attending the 'Wick 4' premiere in New York City ... though he never mentioned why he wasn't going to the premiere.

Before his work on 'Wick,' Lance was best known for playing fictional Baltimore Police Department officer Cedrick Daniels on the hit HBO series "The Wire" ... with his character appearing in all five seasons.

Lance also had recurring roles on a bunch of popular TV shows ... including "Fringe," "Bosch," "Oz" and "Lost."

In addition to his success on TV, Lance also acted on the big screen outside the 'Wick' franchise ... with credits in films like "Angel Has Fallen" and "Godzilla Vs. Kong."

Lance has some unreleased projects in the works ... he plays the Greek god Zeus in the upcoming Disney+ series, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians."

DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS.. Oh, well maybe just bad black genetics. Or vax?
 
The guy was a cunt in every interview I saw him in. Also what's up with black men dying of heart attacks in their fifties and sixties all the time?
 
He was often one of the best parts of whatever shows or films he was in. And he was the only good part of that awful Netflix Resident Evil show.

RIP to a great actor. This day fucking sucks.
 
Whoa, fuck. That seemed sudden. (inb4vaxxmaxxed)

That said, wasn't the last notable dud he starred in the Resident Evil Netflix adaptation as literal Black Albert Wesker? He raised such an excuse-riddled stink blaming waycizm over the cancellation of that series, too.

Every race is different and has a higher chance for various health issues. But black people tend to have higher chances of high blood pressure, diabetes and strokes as opposed to other races. Which only gets worse as they age. I would imagine the increased chance for high blood pressure is what leads to more heart attacks and heart related issues.
