More than two months after the actress, who appeared inInvasionandHalt and Catch Fire,died at age 44, details of her death have been disclosed.
Sheridan died of “complications of chronic alcoholism” and the manner was “natural,” the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE on Friday.
She also suffered a “remote brain injury” as a result of a fall, according to the autopsy.

Some friends of the actress — she starred as Larkin Groves onInvasionfrom 2005-06 — shared the news on social media, including actress Donna D’Errico, who worked with Sheridan in the 2015 filmOnly God Can.
“I just received news that my dear friend, actress Lisa Sheridan, has passed away,” D’Errico, who has appeared onBaywatchandBaywatch Nights,shared on Facebook. “She was found Monday morning. I am sitting here stunned. Lisa and I filmed a movie together 5 years ago and became very close on set and remained close friends after filming ended.”
She continued, “It’s so rare to find kind, gentle souls like hers in this industry, this city…even this world. Truly one of the most genuinely sweet and gentle people I’ve ever come across in my life. She brought a sweetness and bright energy to any room she happened to walk into…even in her darker times.”
The actress’ television credits also include Legacy, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Journeyman and The Mentalist, among others.
