The Jean-Marc Vallee died on Christmas Day in Quebec at the age of 58 from a fatal cardiac arrhythmia secondary to severe coronary atherosclerosis. As reported by a family statement explaining the coroner’s report, obtained by Deadline.
Coronary atherosclerosis, or coronary artery disease (CAD), is a common heart disease that occurs when plaque builds up on the walls of the arteries, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease blocks blood flow to the heart and can result in a cardiac arrhythmia, or an irregular heartbeat, which can be fatal.
Vallée’s sons, Alex and Emile appreciated fans for their condolences.
They shared, “We are sincerely grateful and we hope that his creativity will continue to serve as inspiration and guidance to the people in this industry that he was so passionate about.”
Vallée’s two sons previously wrote that they will remember their father as a “generous man, deeply human and who lived life to its fullest.”
“He wanted to live a long life and was working on major projects,” they said in December. “He was a source of inspiration for many and leaves wonderful memories for those who had the privilege to work with him, to love him and to appreciate his craft.”
