According to documents from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health — obtained by PEOPLE — Curry’s primary cause of death was coronary artery disease. His previous stroke (2012) and a history of kidney cancer were also listed as significant conditions that contributed to his overall failing health.
The documents, PEOPLE reported, do not show that Curry had any operations related to his prior stroke, the kidney cancer, or the coronary artery disease.
After “Rocky Horror,” “Clue,” and Stephen King’s “It” made Curry a household name, he went on to appear in dozens of films and television shows — from comedic appearances in “Muppet Treasure Island” and USA Network series like “Monk” and “Psych” to a terrifying turn in the long-running procedural drama “Criminal Minds.”
A massive stroke in 2012 left Curry unable to perform at the level he was used to.
“I was having a massage at the time and I didn’t even actually notice anything, but the guy who was doing the massage said, ‘I’m worried about you. I want to call an ambulance.’ And he did, and I said, ‘That’s so silly,'” Curry recalled — but after the stroke, he struggled with the use of his left leg in particular for the rest of his life.
Instead, he focused primarily on voiceover roles. From behind a microphone, he voiced hundreds of characters from Nickelodeon’s “The Wild Thornberrys” to Disney Channel’s “Phineas and Ferb” and many more.
Curry, according to a statement from his publicist, passed away at the age of 80 at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, on Tuesday, August 25.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that officers were called to his home to investigate. Officials also confirmed that the actor died just after 11 p.m.
