The actor died of a heart disease, with narrowed heart arteries being listed as his cause of death.
TMZ reported his causes of death listed as ischemic heart disease and atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
The condition prevents blood and oxygen from reaching the heart.
The ischemic heart disease and coronary artery disease terms are often used interchangeably, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The certificate also confirmed it was originally thought Lance died of natural causes.
The John Wick actor was found dead at his home in Los Angeles on March 17.
Prior to his sudden death, Lance had been on a press tour for the upcoming fourth installment of the former mafia hitman portrayed by Keanu Reeves.
