Lance Reddick’s cause of death has been revealed.

The late “Wire” star had two heart conditions: ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, according to his death certificate obtained by TMZ Thursday.

Ischemia is a condition in which blood flow and oxygen is restricted or reduced in a part of the body, per the American Heart Association.

Arteriosclerosis, meanwhile, occurs when “blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from the heart to the rest of the body become thick and stiff,” sometimes restricting blood flow to the organs and tissues, according to the Mayo Clinic. The clots may trigger a heart attack or stroke.

Reddick was found dead on March 17 at his home in Studio City, Calif. He was 60 years old.

Law enforcement sources previously told TMZ that the actor died of “natural causes.”

Reddick’s death came at time in which he was still actively working and busy.

He was in the midst of a press tour for “John Wick: Chapter 4,” which was released in theaters on March 23.

In one of his final interviews, Reddick called his co-stars Keanu Reeves and Ian McShane his “family.”

“You see, with the three of us, it’s not just the family that you’re born into, but the family that you created and how much we really are family,” he said while sitting next to his castmates on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”

Reddick played the role of Charon — a hotel concierge and old acquaintance of John Wick — for nearly 10 years in the action movie franchise.

At the fourth film’s premiere, Reeves, 58, honored his late friend by wearing a blue ribbon.

The “Speed” star also said of Reddick on the red carpet, “He was a beautiful person, a special artist [and] a man of grace and dignity [with] such a passion for his craft.

“To have had the chance to work with him over the 10 years and four films [in the franchise] is something very special to me. It f–king sucks he’s not here.
