Tim Curry’s Death Attributed to Coronary Heart Disease

Los Angeles County records list prior stroke and kidney cancer as contributing factors while the investigation found no indication of foul play.

Overview

  • The actor died at his Toluca Lake home on Tuesday, August 25, and emergency responders were called to the scene where he was pronounced dead.
  • Los Angeles County death records, obtained by People, name coronary heart disease as the immediate cause of death.
  • The same official documents list a prior stroke and kidney cancer as significant contributing factors and note Curry had not undergone surgical treatment for those conditions.
  • Investigators reported no signs of foul play, a finding first reported by TMZ and cited by other outlets covering the released records.
  • Curry, 80, had suffered a major stroke in 2012 that left him using a wheelchair and largely out of public acting, and the newly released records narrow public questions about his declining health and final months.
