Richard Simmons' family has confirmed that he died from an accidental cause due to complications from recent falls and heart disease, as reported by his brother Lenny after a call from the LA Coroner's office. Simmons, who was found unresponsive at his home on July 13, 2024, just one day after his 76th birthday, had experienced a fall two days prior and declined medical assistance despite his housekeeper's urging. The toxicology report showed no illegal substances, revealing only prescribed medication. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed there was no foul play involved in his death. Family spokesperson Tom Estey expressed gratitude for the support received during this difficult time. The official coroner's report remains pending as further investigations are ongoing.
