Police have released new video Saturday of a man wanted for questioning in connection to the death of 26-year-old former reality TV star Lyric McHenry. 
Police say they're asking for the public's help to identify the man's whereabouts, as investigators say questioning him may help them figure out exactly what happened to McHenry.
Authorities say McHenry was found unresponsive and without pants on Aug. 14 near the intersection of Undercliff Avenue and Boscobel Place in Highbridge. 
They say McHenry, who was pregnant at the time, was found with cocaine in her possession but it is unclear if her death is drug-related.
The medical examiner has not made an official ruling and McHenry's family is asking that all speculation surrounding the cause of her death to stop until further investigation. 
McHenry, daughter of the award winning producer and director Doug Henry, grew up in Los Angeles and graduated from Stanford University.
McHenry volunteered for former president Barack Obama's campaign and starred on an E! Network reality show with the son of Magic Johnson. 
McHenry's family recently released a statement that says in part, "Lyric... was a brilliant, creative and lovely young woman who shared a deep passion for writing, film and a long-standing commitment to social justice."
McHenry worked in New York City for several years but moved back to Los Angeles in February. 
McHenry was back in New York celebrating her birthday the night before her death, according to her most recent social media posts.
Police have not ruled out foul play although they say there were no obvious signs of trauma on her body.
