Simmons has been out of the public spotlight since 2014 and was found dead one day after his birthday
WASHINGTON — Fitness guru Richard Simmons died Saturday at the age of 76, his representative and law enforcement sources confirmed to multiple media outlets.
Simmons, a best-selling author and star of millions of exercise videos – including the Sweatin’ to the Oldies” line – had just celebrated his birthday on Friday. He had posted a thank you on social media for all of the messages he’d received, less than 24 hours before his death.
