Tim Curry's death attributed to coronary artery disease, public health records show

Tim Curry died at age 80 on Aug. 25 at his home in Toluca Lake. A Los Angeles County Department of Public Health record lists coronary artery disease as the primary cause of death, with a history of stroke and kidney cancer noted as additional significant conditions. The document indicates Curry did not undergo surgery for any of these ailments.

Curry, who began his career on stage before gaining fame for roles such as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," also appeared in "It," "Clue," "Annie" and "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," and performed extensive voice work. He suffered a stroke in 2013 that left him using a wheelchair.

A spokesperson for Curry's estate did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The actor’s death prompted statements of condolence from several fellow performers and public figures.
