\n\tA week after Tim Curry died, his cause of death has been revealed. <\/p>\n

\n\tCurry\u2019s death is attributed to coronary artery disease, according to documents obtained by People<\/a><\/em> from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor, known for his starring roles as Frank-N-Furter in the 1975 cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show<\/em> and Pennywise the Clown in the 1990 miniseries<\/a> It<\/em>, based on Stephen King\u2019s novel, died Aug. 25 at his Toluca Lake home in Los Angeles at age 80. His longtime manager and friend, Marcia Hurwitz, confirmed to <\/em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> on Aug. 26.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe documents also listed a history of stroke and kidney cancer as other significant conditions that contributed to his death. However, neither were listed as the underlying cause.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Clue<\/em> actor had suffered a major stroke in 2012. He reflected on the stroke in an October 2025 interview with Turner Classic Movies\u00a0host Ben Mankiewicz that\u00a0aired<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0CBS Sunday Morning<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was so strange,\u201d he said. \u201cI was actually having a massage, and the guy who was giving me a massage said, \u2018I\u2019m worried about you. I think we should call a doctor.\u2019 I felt fine. I had no symptoms I was aware of. I wasn\u2019t in pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCurry said he was \u201cscared\u201d because his dad suffered a fatal stroke when he was 10 years old. <\/p>\n

\n\tAs a result of the stroke, Curry underwent brain surgery and rehabilitation. \u201cI had to learn how to speak again. That was very weird. I hated not being able to speak,\u201d he said, adding that the left side of his face became paralyzed. <\/p>\n

\n\tCurry was also beloved for his roles in Monty Python\u2019s Spamalot<\/em>, Annie, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York<\/em>, Legend <\/em>and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tFollowing the news<\/a> of his death, many of Curry\u2019s former co-stars and other celebrities publicly shared tributes honoring the actor\u2019s decades long career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
