Tim Curry Dies At 80 Following Health Complications
TMZ was the first publication to exclusively report the death of Tim Curry. Sources reportedly told the publication that Curry had been experiencing serious health issues for over 10 years. He died on Tuesday (August 25) night at his home in Los Angeles. Local police allegedly didn’t suspect foul play after arriving at the actor’s residence at around 11:23 p.m. for a death investigation. Also, the LA Fire Department reportedly visited the home earlier that evening for “a medical emergency.” Officials later pronounced Tim Curry dead at the scene.
His cause of death has not been revealed. However, his memoir last year, revealed he was still unable to walk and wheelchair bound. In 2012, he had a massive stroke that resulted in brain surgery.
