The family of acclaimed Canadian director and producer Jean-Marc Vallee says his sudden death on Christmas Day was from natural causes.
In a statement released today, his family says a coroner has concluded Vallee died of a "fatal cardiac arrhythmia secondary to severe coronary atherosclerosis."
Vallee directed a string of high-profile films and series after his breakout "C.R.A.Z.Y.", winning an Emmy for directing the hit HBO series "Big Little Lies," and his 2013 drama "Dallas Buyers Club" earned multiple Oscar nominations. In the statement released late Wednesday, Vallee's sons, Alex and Emile Vallee, say people are still getting in touch about their filmmaker father's influence.
