THE cause of death of legendary Brit actor Tim Curry has been revealed.
The Rocky Horror Show star passed away on August 25 at his £1.5million home in Los Angeles, aged 80.
Harrowing 911 audio recorded the moment first responders rushed to Tim Curry’s hollywood home for a “death investigation”.
Documents obtained by People have now for the first time revealed that Curry died of coronary artery disease.
Kidney cancer and a history of strokes were also listed as a potential contributors to his passing, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
The actor, from Cheshire, had battled serious health complications for more than a decade after a stroke in 2012 left him unable to walk.
In September 2025, the actor updated fans on his health saying: “I still can’t walk, which is why I’m in this silly chair, and that’s very limiting.
“So I won’t be singing and I won’t be dancing very soon. I still have real problems with my left leg.”
Curry had no operations for either his coronary artery disease, kidney cancer or history of stroke, according to the docs.
