Fitness Personality Richard Simmons Dead at 76
His energetic Sweatin’ to the Oldies workout tapes had people up on their feet at home.
He had just celebrated his birthday on Friday, tweeting, “Thank you…I never got so many messages about my birthday in my life!” TMZ initially reported that law enforcement responded to a call from Simmons’s housekeeper on Saturday morning and pronounced him dead at the scene, with police suspecting no foul play and investigating it as a natural death.

Once a regular guest on late-night talk shows, Simmons stepped away from public life about a decade ago.
