Hollywood “froze” upon hearing the news of the death of Lance Reddick, the famous star of the HBO films “The Wire” and “John Wick”, at the age of only 60!

According to TMZ citing police sources, Riddick’s body was discovered at his Studio City home on Friday morning (9:30 a.m. local time). The cause of his death is currently unclear, but the same sources speak of natural causes.

It is worth noting that Riddick recently gave a press conference for the fourth season of John Wick, in which he plays the role of Sharon.
In fact, he was scheduled to make a guest appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show next week.
