An autopsy won’t be performed on James Van Der Beek following his death.
The Travis County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed to Us Weekly that no report will be written up after Van Der Beek’s death at age 48. The actor battled stage III colorectal cancer in the months leading up to his death.
Van Der Beek revealed in November 2024 that he was undergoing treatment.
“I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family,” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good.”
