Lance Reddick's attorney is not buying the actor's official cause of death. In a statement to ET, James Hornstein says «the death certificate is wholly inconsistent with» the late actor's active lifestyle.It had been reported that the beloved actor's death certificate listed the immediate cause of death as ischemic heart disease as well as atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.

According to the death certificate, first obtained by TMZ, Reddick was also cremated.But Hornstein, who continues to represent Reddick's widow, Stephanie Reddick, tells ET that «the coroner statement on the death certificate is not a result of an autopsy.» He added, «No autopsy was performed on Lance.

To my knowledge, no medical examination of Lance during his lifetime ever indicated such conditions.»As for why the family is not buying heart disease as the cause of death, Hornstein says Reddick was active and healthy.«Lance was the most physically fit person I’ve ever known.

He exercised daily at his home gym, including extensive cardio work, and the availability of gym facilities was a contractual requirement for his work away from home,» Hornstein said. «He ate as if a dietician was monitoring his every meal.
