Richard Simmons reportedly fell in his bathroom and refused medical treatment the day before he was found dead in his West Hollywood home. His housekeeper urged him to see a doctor, but he declined due to it being his birthday and said he would consider it the next day. Unfortunately, the next morning, the housekeeper discovered Simmons dead next to his bed. Despite his reluctance to seek medical help, the fitness guru posted a birthday message on Facebook and shared plans for his special day in a rare interview. Simmons, known for his weight loss journey and fitness empire in the 70s and 80s, is remembered for his upbeat attitude and helping countless people through his programs. After battling with skin cancer and stepping away from the public eye in 2014, Simmons left behind a legacy of inspiration and transformation.
