Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Lance’s body was discovered at his Studio City home on Friday morning around 9:30 a.m. His cause of death is currently unclear, but our law enforcement sources say it appears to be natural.

Lance had been on a press tour for the fourth installment of the ‘John Wick’ franchise – he plays Charon in the film – and had an appearance scheduled next week on Kelly Clarkson‘s show.
