Following an investigation, Richard Simmons’ cause of death has been disclosed. Authorities had initially informed his publicist Tom Estey that they were looking into the circumstances that led to the fitness icon’s passing, with no suspicion of foul play, according to People. More than a month later, Simmons’ brother confirmed the cause of death, stating, “The Coroner informed Lenny [Richard’s brother] that Richard’s death was accidental due to complications from recent falls and heart disease as a contributing factor,” as reported to People. Estey further added that “The toxicology report was negative other than medication Richard had been prescribed.”
Simmons was discovered deceased in his residence by his housekeeper on July 13, according to TMZ. Although the LAPD’s robbery homicide division was involved, it was merely due to the high-profile nature of the celebrity’s passing.
