Tim Curry's Cause of Death Revealed: Coronary Artery Disease

Tim Curry, the iconic actor beloved for his roles in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Clue," died on August 25, 2026. Official documents from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, obtained on September 2, 2026, have now revealed the specific cause of his death.

Coronary artery disease has been identified as the primary cause of Curry's passing at the age of 80. The documentation also noted a history of stroke and kidney cancer as significant conditions that contributed to his death. It was further clarified that no surgical interventions were undertaken for any of these health issues.

Curry, who had no spouse or children, experienced a major stroke in 2012, which led him to step back from many public acting commitments. He continued to focus on voiceover work and shared an update in September 2025 about his ongoing mobility challenges, including difficulties with walking and dancing due to his health.

The acclaimed British actor, who also starred in "Annie" and "Muppet Treasure Island," began his career on the West End stage. He was nominated for multiple Tony and Laurence Olivier Awards for his extensive work in theater.
