Richard Simmons, 76
Fitness guru Richard Simmons was found dead in his Los Angeles home at age 76.
The death of the beloved Sweatin’ to the Oldies coach was reported by law enforcement on Friday. No foul play was suspected, and authorities reportedly responded to a call from a housekeeper around 10 p.m. that night.
“The world has truly lost an angel,” Simmons’ publicist Tom Estey said in a statement.
Simmons, who has not been seen in public since 2014, posted on social media the morning of his death. He also let fans know that he “never got so many messages about [his] birthday in [his] life” the day before, his 76th birthday.
“I am sitting here writing emails. Have a most beautiful rest of your Friday,” he said in his second-to-last post.
In a story published on Friday, Simmons spoke to People about his birthday plans, saying he would blow out a few candles in celebration.
