Julian McMahon‘s official cause of death has been revealed.
The Australian-American actor, beloved for his roles on the series Nip/Tuck and Charmed, died of lung metastasis as a result of head and neck metastatic cancer.
McMahon died at the age of 56 on July 2 in Clearwater, Fla., with the manner of death ruled as natural, according to a cremation approval summary report from the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office reviewed by Entertainment Weekly.

However, McMahon is best known for his roles as demon Cole Turner on the witchy series Charmed and plastic surgeon Christian Troy on the medical drama Nip/Tuck.
His Charmed costars Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, and Alyssa Milano have since paid tribute to him following his death, remembering him as a “force of brilliance, wild talent, and humor.”
His Nip/Tuck costar Dylan Walsh also shared a tribute to him in a letter addressed to McMahon: “I know you like to flout the boundaries, but this time you’ve gone too far. Let’s meet at the Biltmore, have a martini, and we’ll talk this through. We’ll laugh hard, the valet will bring up your Hummer, and right behind my hatchback with car seats and bird s— on the window — we’ve laughed at this too many times. Now it’s just us. You’ll kiss me on the cheek and say, ‘Bye, Dyl.'”
McMahon is survived by his wife, Kelly, and daughter, Madison.
