There are new reports about Richard Simmons.
The fitness guru, who died over the weekend at the age of 76, reportedly suffered a fall prior to his death, via TMZ.
A housekeeper tried to get him to a doctor after he fell in his bathroom, but Richard “pushed it off, because he just wanted to stay home for his birthday,” according to the outlet.
He allegedly fell Friday evening (July 12) at home in a bathroom, and according to law enforcement sources, when his housekeeper came to help him up, she insisted he seek medical attention.
Richard had described feeling dizzy before the fall, but he refused to go, telling her maybe he’d go one day later, but particularly didn’t want to go that night as it had been his 76th birthday, so she helped him back to bed.
The housekeeper then found him unresponsive on the floor a day later (July 13) nexdt to his bed.
Another source claims he showed no obvious or external signs of injury following the fall. It’s unclear if whatever caused his dizziness or the fall is directly related to his death.
His autopsy has been completed, but the cause of death is still pending. His brother also spoke out following his death.
