LOS ANGELES - Richard Simmons refused medical help after falling the night before he was found dead in his Hollywood Hills home, it was reported Monday.
Law enforcement sources told TMZ on Monday that Simmons had fallen in his bathroom Friday night before his housekeeper helped him up and tried to get him medical attention immediately. However, Simmons rejected the idea because he wanted to stay home on what was his 76th birthday, according to the outlet, which also reported that Simmons had described feeling dizzy before the fall.
Authorities were dispatched at 9:55 a.m. Saturday to 1350 Belfast Drive on a call of a cardiac arrest/suspected death, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The department described it as a"natural death."The fitness guru celebrated his birthday Friday, which he wrote about in a lengthy Facebook post.
"Thank you -- I never got so many messages about my birthday in my life! I am sitting here writing emails. Have a most beautiful rest of your Friday," he posted in a follow-up message. After spending years as a ubiquitous figure on television, Simmons had retreated from public appearances in recent years amid rampant speculation about his health. He was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in 2017 for what was reported to be a gastrointestinal problem."I feel good! I am grateful that I'm here, that I am alive for another day. I'll spend my birthday doing what I do every day, which is to help people," he said.Copyright 2024, City News Service, Inc.
