Lies, Damn lies, and the Man of Fire

Just days ago I shared some sad, but new information involving the untimely death of a celebrity, Christine McVie. Today, I’m back to report more, but regarding a different celebrity. Enter actor Lance Reddick, who passed just a few weeks ago in March.
According to reporting by the Huffington Post (here https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lance-reddicks-attorney-says-official-cause-of-death-is-wholly-inconsistent-with-his-lifestyle_n_64317d33e4b05cef00c96032 ), James Hornstein, attorney for the late actor, is unconvinced of the determinations from his autopsy. Pathologist findings pointed to ischemia, leading to heart failure as a result from arterial hardening.
Attorney Hornstein asserts that Mr. Reddick was in too good of health with no underlying conditions of relevance, and had an extremely healthy diet, which is inconsistent with his cause of death. What does this mean, exactly? To understand legalese you have to read between the lines here, so let’s do it.
Business Ethics
Lawyers have an innate ability to lead a horse (a juror) to water and make it not just drink, but indulge, without actually leading them. With a bit of simple ruling out of inplausible causes lawyers may indeed likely bring the juror to the correct one. And, I believe this is exactly what Attorney Hornstein is doing. By ruling out Lance’s diet and his underlying health, Attorney Hornstein is effectively pointing to an exterior cause, some as yet undefined mechanism that lead to this outcome.
An extremely healthy person just entering their golden years, suddenly dead from arterial ischemia. Why does that sound familiar? Oh right, Christine McVie.
Won’t Back Down
In this instance I fear this may be yet another case of ischemia caused by the Pfizer bivalent COVID booster. As a SAG member and prominent actor, it is likely he would have been required to run the COVID vaccine treadmill from start to end, though I am unaware of any direct information from Lance or his attorney that would confirm this. It would be very helpful if incorrect, in order to rule out the potential, but remains undisclosed.
Yes, I know, I’m doing quite a lot of speculative work for this one, but in fact I’m really not. It would be almost implausible that Mr. Reddick was able to escape the grasp of the studio lot requirements, and since he was a prominent actor it would stand to reason that he would want to comply with those restrictions, in order to keep his career in good standing.
The world may never know, though. I’ll continue to report more information as it becomes available, but I have a hunch that this death will remain contentious for some time, that we may never know the full truth of what happened to Lance Reddick, and that his family may never be made whole for their loss, of which I am sorry and deeply sympathetic to them if any are reading this.
As always, thanks for reading.
Great article. Thank you for writing this. I'm not normally one to wax poetic and tear out my hear in grief over a celebrity passing... but this story is different for two reasons:
1) It is obvious that the number of relatively young and healthy celebrities and athletes who have had catastrophic medical issues or "died suddenly" as of late is staggering. The fact that nobody seems to care that an unholy alliance of Big Pharma, Mockingbird Media, and Authoritarian Sociopaths is clearly profiteering off of poisoning us proles is so surreal to me that it almost makes me think Big Brother deserves to win a this point.
2) Lance was THE MAN. Not only was he an amazing actor, but he always seemed like such a cool dude in interviews and live streams. And as a longtime Destiny player and proud, crayon-munchin' Titan main since Dark Below, his years of amazing work as the voice of Titan Vanguard Zavala had such a huge impact on me. It makes me so sad and angry to think that he was just another victim of the forced clotshot campaign. He deserved better. We all do.
Bosch, Fringe, The Wire....great career, great actor.
