Lance Reddick’s wife has spoken out after the sudden and untimely death of her husband on Friday, 17 March.

It was announced that the John Wick actor had died of natural causes on Friday at the age of just 60, and now Stephanie Reddick has released a statement thanking everyone for their support, as well as addressing her husband’s tragic passing.

On her husband’s social media accounts, she wrote: “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.

Reddick was probably best known for his performance as Baltimore police officer Cedric Daniels in the legendary drama The Wire, but also appeared in TV shows such as Frank, Oz, and Bosch.
