Tim Curry's cause of death has been revealed eight days after his passing on Aug. 25.
According to documents obtained by People from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" actor died of coronary artery disease. The report also cited his history of health issues including his 2012 stroke and kidney cancer. While these ailments contributed to his death they were not the underlying cause.
The actor died last week at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, 14 years after he suffered a paralyzing stroke. He maintained a presence in the public eye through the intervening years through fan conventions, social media and his 2025 memoir "Vagabond."
"Though widely known for his inimitable, flamboyant characters and colorful stage performances, his greatest legacies to those who knew him were his curious, expansive mind and generous, gentle heart, both of which remained open and filled with anticipation until his final breath," Curry's team shared in a statement last week.

Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has announced that he is stepping back from the national team, saying he felt "humiliated" by his exclusion and subsequent reinstatement after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
The top scorer in the history of the Panthers was singled out by the Gabonese government as responsible for the AFCON failure.
"They humiliated and smeared me even though I played at the AFCON while injured," the 37-year-old said in a television interview.
"This is the last straw, and I'd rather stop here."
Gabon were eliminated from the AFCON in the group stage after three defeats, the last of which came against Ivory Coast.

The vagabond Athletics will make their annual journey to Kansas City for the home series this week. They stand at 49-75. Heading into July, FanGraphs playoff odds had them about equal to the Astros for making the playoffs. They have had some truly unfortunate injury issues, with Nick Kurtz and Shea Langeliers both on the injured list right now.
It's not like the Royals are much better at 51-74, but tonight Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia are returning to the squad and will start.
Hopefully those guys are healthy and rested and can show us what they can do the rest of the season.
The Royals will put Michael Wacha on the hill. Once again, I seem to get him a lot for my Monday games. He's had a run of pretty good starts over the past few weeks, and with two of the Athletics stars out, no reason to believe that won't continue.
Mason Barnett starts for the Athletics. The Athletics got him from the Royals in the Lucas Erceg trade in 2024. This year, he's been stretched into a starter only in the past few weeks and has generally been shelled.

Olympique de Marseille will prioritise player sales before strengthening Bruno Genesio’s squad this summer as the club continues to work within financial constraints imposed by the DNCG, according to L’Équipe. The former Lille manager was officially appointed on Wednesday, but his first transfer window is expected to be dominated by departures rather than arrivals.
OM have informed the DNCG that significant sales would be made throughout the summer to reduce the club’s wage bill, which currently stands at close to €160m and must be cut below the €100m mark. Sporting director Grégory Lorenzi has circulated a list of players to agents in an effort to facilitate exits.
Among those available are Ulisses Garcia, Amine Harit, Neal Maupay, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The Gabon international, who recently turned 37, has attracted interest from Turkey, MLS, Saudi Arabia and Spain, although Marseille have not ruled out him remaining under Genesio if no suitable offer arrives.

An underrated pleasure for spectators at every World Cup is observing the managers. If club football, an increasingly regimented domain of set pieces and systems, is all about structure, international soccer is much more a matter of style – and at this tournament, the theatrics of the sport's touchline strutters have been rich with emotion and figurative power.
Didier Deschamps patrols his technical area with the watchful pride of an outer-arrondissement charcutier. Luis de la Fuente is a veteran wealth manager at Banco Santander. ***** an's Hajime Moriyasu is about to go postal at his dreary office job in a Kiyoshi Kurosawa film. Socceroos coach Tony Popovic looks like he's on his way to MC a wedding at Sydney's King Tomislav Croatian Club. And Carlo Ancelotti is … well, he's just Carlo Ancelotti, a man with Champions League-winning eyebrows whose fierce allegiance to his three-piece suit, even through the worst of a North American summer, suggests he's somehow in command of his own climate.

But one man has stood hair and shoulders above the rest. On the field, through victory and defeat, Ecuador have been exactly what everyone imagined they would be before the tournament began: a team with an elite defensive and midfield spine that lacks any real punch up front. But on the sidelines and in the press conferences, they have absolutely dominated, and that's all down to the gaúcho Fabio they have leading their team. With his streaks of dirty blond hair, chinstrap of stubble, and Boeing 747 nose, Sebastián Beccacece looks like the kind of manager who should do well at the World Cup, regardless of results on the pitch. He's 45 years old, leading a country other than his native Argentina, and arrives at this tournament boasting a fairly modest coaching record, having worked as an ***** istant under Jorge Sampaoli with Chile and managed the Spanish club side Elche to no great success.
The look, the journeyman résumé, and the responsibility for a team widely seen as a tournament dark horse: the raw ingredients were all there, before this World Cup began, for Beccacece to break out as a cult managerial hero. In previous World Cups it's been the duty of middle-aged Frenchmen – exiles and vagabonds like Bruno Metsu, Philippe Troussier, and Hervé Renard, the crisp white shirt who never lets Africa down – to carry the cultural burden of being the tournament's eccentrics-in-chief; could an Argentinian ease the weight of French responsibility? Things did not start well. In the wake of Ecuador's first two matches at this tournament, Beccacece was on the brink. A last-minute defeat to a young and talented Côte d'Ivoire side was perhaps forgivable, but after La Tri suffered the humiliation of a scoreless draw against tiny Curaçao, everything about Beccacece's management – his tactics, his selections, his communication style, even his choice of dress, which saw him take
