Tim Curry’s death attributed to coronary artery disease and other illnesses

Los Angeles County health officials recorded coronary artery disease as the main cause of Tim Curry’s death, with his prior stroke and kidney cancer cited as significant contributors. The records indicate that none of these conditions were treated surgically. Police responded to a death investigation call on August 25, 2026, at the 10500 block of La Maida Street, confirming the incident.

Curry’s 2012 stroke, which occurred during a massage, resulted in left-side paralysis, loss of speech, and permanent use of a wheelchair. He later spoke about his health struggles at a 2025 Rocky Horror anniversary event, noting ongoing mobility issues. The actor, celebrated for roles such as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and appearances in “Annie,” “Clue,” and “Home Alone 2,” had been battling these ailments for years.
