The late Tim Curry — of The Rocky Horror Picture Show fame — has had his cause of death officially confirmed, with the exact reason now set out.

Fans have been looking for answers ever since legendary actor Tim Curry died earlier this year, and now we've finally got a bit of clarity about what happened in his final days. Thanks to details dug up from Los Angeles County public health records, we know precisely what the doctors wrote down.

Coronary artery disease was officially stated as Curry's cause of death in county records.

He'd battled quite a bit, it turns out. Beyond the main cause, these public documents note that Curry also had a previous history with kidney cancer, and he'd suffered a stroke in the past — both of which were flagged as "other significant conditions" that played a role, although neither was blamed as the direct cause for the end.
