The photo, posted to his Instagram yesterday, showed Reddick surrounded by at least four dogs.
“On screen and off, it’s no surprise I love spoiling my dogs. @officialhardrock makes it easy with a full line of @johnwickmovie dog swag available at @hardrockhotels Unleashed locations, and a very special #NationalPuppyDay event at @hardrockhotelnyc to support @animalleague. Check out my story for more information,” the caption read.
Reddick’s death was confirmed by Los Angeles authorities.
A cause of death has not been determined, however, sources told TMZ his passing appeared natural.
Reddick posted a brief clip of himself at home with his dogs on social media on Wednesday.
The video featured him walking through his house while the dogs barked in the background before he sang, “and the beat goes on.”
Fans noticed Reddick’s absence from the red-carpet premiere of John Wick 4 in New York City that same day.
‘SHARP PAINFUL GRIEF’
Tributes continue to pour in for Reddick, best known for HBO’s The Wire and the John Wick franchise.
“A man of great strength and grace. As talented a musician as he was an actor. The epitome of class. An sudden unexpected sharp painful grief for our artistic family. An unimaginable suffering for his personal family and loved ones. Godspeed my friend. You made your mark here. RIP,” tweeted Reddick’s costar on The Wire, Wendell Pierce.
“Halfway through re-watching THE WIRE comes the news that Lance Reddick has died at the horribly unfair age of 60. Wonderful actor; wonderful man. This is sad news,” tweeted author Stephen King.
Reddick’s John Wick castmate Keanu Reeves and the franchise’s director Chad Stahelski announced that the upcoming John Wick 4 film, set to be released on March 24, would be dedicated to Reddick.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken at the loss of our beloved friend and colleague Lance Reddick,” Reeves and Stahelski said, in a statement, per EW.
“He was the consummate professional and a joy to work with. Our love and prayers are with his wife Stephanie, his children, family and friends. We dedicate the film to his loving memory. We will miss him dearly.”
“Lance Reddick was an incredibly nice guy, and an incredibly talented actor. This is heartbreaking. My love goes out to all his family, friends, and collaborators,” tweeted James Gunn.
