Dallas Buyers Club and Big Little Lies director Jean-Marc Vallee reportedly died of a heart attack at his Quebec log cabin and is believed to have lost his life on Christmas Day.
The filmmaker likely died of heart failure on December 25 while preparing to receive guests the following day, multiple sources told Deadline.
Vallee won an Emmy for directing the hit HBO series Big Little Lies. His 2013 drama Dallas Buyers Club earned multiple Oscar nominations.
The filmmaker died suddenly in the cabin outside Quebec City, Canada over the weekend, according to his representative Bumble Ward. He said Vallee's death had been unexpected.
The 58-year-old Canadian was a fitness buff and a teetotaler, meaning he abstained from drugs and alcohol, according to Deadline. He also practiced the Wim Hoff fitness method, which involves 'breathing exercises, meditation, and exposure to cold,' according to its website.
Yes, of course, Mr. Vallee was vaccinated but make sure you don't share that info on social media, just sum it up to global warming and you'll be sure to not get banned for a month.
