First responders who arrived at the residence found the male patient, who was declared deceased at the scene.
Fire officials do not release the name of patients, but confirmed they responded to the same address as Curry's.
A cause of death has not yet been determined, but the 80-year-old had been dealing with serious health complications for more than a decade following a stroke he suffered in 2012 that left him unable to walk.
Curry played Dr Frank-N-Furter in the hit musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show before starring in the play's film adaptation.
The very first show he played in was the musical Hair in 1968. He went on to get nominated for the Laurence Oliver Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his roles in The Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance, and King Arthur in Spamalot.
He was also known for his many on-screen roles in Home Alone 2, Charlie's Angels, Scary Movie 2, It, and Peter Pan & the Pirates, among others.
