Lance Reddick has died at the age of 60.

The Wire actor’s death was confirmed by law enforcement at his Studio City home on Friday morning. (TMZ first reported the news, which was later confirmed by Deadline and Variety. PEOPLE has reached out to Reddick’s reps and local authorities.)

Though Reddick’s cause of death was not immediately clear, it appeared to be a result of natural causes, per TMZ.

Just one day before his death, Reddick shared a sweet Instagram post about his four dogs. He was seen sitting on a couch with the pets rallied around him. The post was a sponsorship with his upcoming film John Wick 4 and Hard Rock hotels. “On screen and off, it’s no surprise I love spoiling my dogs,” he wrote in the caption.
