British actor Tim Curry died of coronary artery disease, his spokesman has confirmed to the BBC.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show star died in his Los Angeles home on 25 August, aged 80.
In addition to the heart condition, Curry had a history of stroke and kidney cancer, which were significant conditions that contributed to his death, his spokesman said, citing a death certificate filed in Los Angeles County.
Stars of stage and screen paid tribute to the actor, who shot to fame as the lingerie-clad Dr Frank-N-Furter in the cult 1975 film The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
After having a near-fatal stroke in 2012, Curry used a wheelchair. He shifted his focus to voice acting exclusively, expressing gratitude that the stroke resulted in paralysis rather than taking away his ability to speak.
He continued to appear at film conventions and published his memoir, Vagabond, last year in which he opened up about the medical incident and his prolonged recovery.
“If there was anything impressed upon me in the aftermath, it was just how remarkable it was that I was still alive,” Curry said, according to People, external magazine.
