The Wire actor Lance Reddick‘s lawyer has disputed the findings of his death certificate.

Hornstein added: “The information appearing on the death certificate is wholly inconsistent with his lifestyle.

Anneka Rice has poked fun at Channel 5‘s decision to axe Challege Anneka after just two episodes.
It was revealed on Tuesday (28 March) that the reboot of the show, which first aired in 1989, had been pulled from programming schedules.
