The fitness guru reportedly wanted to stay home on his birthday and told his housekeeper he’d consider seeing a doctor on Saturday — the day he was found dead.
LOS ANGELES, CA – JUNE 02: Richard Simmons attends the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation’s 24th Annual ‘A Time For Heroes’ at Century Park on June 2, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.
Simmons also revealed his plans to celebrate his birthday in a rare interview, which took place the day before he died. Heby phone that he probably wouldn’t have a cake: “The candle will probably be on a zucchini. You know, I’m a vegetarian.” In recent years, Simmons led a reclusive life, a stark departure from the high-profile media career he once enjoyed, where he preached a lifestyle of health and fitness to global audiences after struggling with weight issues through his childhood and teen years.
Simmons stepped away from the limelight in 2014, though he kept in regular contact with fans and friends, telling People that he never disappeared. He also developed a presence on social media. Earlier this year, he revealedthat he’d been diagnosed with skin cancer, which was removed. “Basal cell carcinoma, it was scary. But it never came back,” he said. “So many people have cancer. I call them, I sing to them. ‘You’re gonna get through this. You just have to believe that.
