Julian McMahon’s cause of death has been released, nearly one week after his wife revealed his shocking passing.
The “Nip/Tuck” actor died from lung metastasis as a result of head and neck metastatic cancer, according to a Cremation Approval Summary Report from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office in Florida obtained by People on Thursday, July 10.
The report revealed McMahon’s manner of death was natural.
He has since been cremated, per the outlet.
The actor — known for starring as Dr. Christian Troy in the medical drama series — passed away on July 2 in Clearwater, Florida, after a private battle with cancer.
“With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” his wife, Kelly, said in the statement on Friday, July 4.
“Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible,” she continued. “We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy, to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”
He was 56.
The Australian actor hit the Hollywood scene in the ’90s after starring in the beloved Down Under soap drama “Home and Away.”
McMahon’s big break was “Charmed,” in which he played Cole Turner, the love interest of Alyssa Milano’s character, Phoebe Halliwell. He was featured on the witchy series from 2000 to 2005.
He went on to play Victor Von Doom (Dr. Doom) in Tim Story’s “Fantastic Four” (2005) before returning as the character in 2007’s “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.”
