Tim Curry's cause of death was revealed just days after the Rocky Horror Picture Show star passed away at the age of 80

Tim Curry’s cause of death has been revealed just over a week after the beloved actor’s death on August 25.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has determined that the Rocky Horror Picture Show star died at age 80 due to coronary artery disease, according to a report obtained by People.

Curry’s history of stroke and kidney cancer were reportedly listed as contributing factors to his death.

However, the report makes clear that these factors were not related to Curry’s coronary artery disease.

The actor had been struggling with serious health problems for years after a debilitating stroke in 2012 left him unable to walk.
