The family of Oscar-nominated director Jean-Marc Valais, who died suddenly in December at the age of 58, said on Wednesday that the Canadian-born director of Dallas Buyers Club, Crazy, Sharp Objects and Big Little Lies has died of natural causes. .
According to the coroner’s final report, Vallée’s death at Christmas while in his hut by a lake in Quebec was the result of “a fatal cardiac arrhythmia resulting from severe coronary atherosclerosis,” the family said in a statement.
A preliminary report received by the family on December 31 could not establish the exact reason, but stated that “Mr. Vale’s death was not caused by the intervention of another party, a voluntary act or a known illness.
“Testimonies of friendship, respect and esteem for our father and his work still come from all over the world,” his sons Alex and Emil Vale said today. “We are sincerely grateful and hope that his work will continue to serve as an inspiration and direction for the people in this industry, to which he was so passionate.”
The family said they would announce details of the commemorative events soon.
