Richard Simmons’ cause of death revealed

Richard Simmons’ cause of death has been revealed a month after he was found dead in his home.

The Los Angeles Coroner’s Office announced Simmons died due to “complications from recent falls and heart disease as a contributing factor,” Tom Estey, a spokesperson for the legendary fitness instructor’s family, told People Wednesday.

“The toxicology report was negative other than medication Richard had been prescribed,” the rep said, also noting that the manner of death was ruled as “accidental.”

He concluded, “The Family wishes to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support during this time of great loss.”

On July 13, law enforcement told TMZ that Simmons had suffered a fall inside his bathroom the night prior and that his housekeeper found him the following morning at around 10 a.m. local time.

The beloved workout instructor — who catapulted to fame in the ’80s and ’90s — was reportedly pronounced dead at the scene. He was 76 years old.

Simmons reportedly refused to get medical help after his fall, with a source previously telling TMZ that his housekeeper asked him to get treatment but he asked to go to bed instead.

The fitness guru reportedly told his employee he would try to go to the doctor the next morning.

Despite the accident, his housekeeper has said that she believes Simmons died from a heart attack.

Teresa Reveles told People last month that she noticed her boss’ hands were balled into fists when she found him, and added, “I had a heart attack a few years ago, and my hands did the same.”

She concluded, however, that Simmons “died happy” as he “looked peaceful” when she found him.

Simmons was laid to rest in a private burial in Los Angeles surrounded by family and friends on July 19.

His older brother, Lenny Simmons, said via Etsy at the time, “We pray for your continued love and support during this very difficult time.”

He also asked fans to remember his brother “for the genuine joy and love he brought to people’s lives.”
