Overview
- Curry died at his Toluca Lake residence after midnight on August 25, 2026, a fact first reported by TMZ and later confirmed to Variety by his representative Marcia Hurwitz.
- LAPD officers responded to his home and said initial inquiries found no indication of foul play, though investigators have not announced a medical cause.
- Some outlets published an unverified report that Curry suffered a heart attack but that claim remains unconfirmed and contradicts the absence of an official cause.
- Curry built a nearly six-decade career on stage, screen and in voice work with signature roles as Dr. Frank‑N‑Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Pennywise in the 1990 miniseries It.
- After a major stroke in 2012 Curry used a wheelchair and shifted toward voice acting and selective appearances, and his death has prompted widespread tributes from colleagues, fans and industry groups.
