Richard Simmons was 76 years old when he died suddenly on July 13. New information has been emerging, first from family, and now from Simmons’ autopsy report, which allegedly indicates that he was covered in cuts and bruises when he died.

Knewz.com reportedly obtained a copy of Simmons’ autopsy report generated by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner. The report points to falling as the primary cause of death. Simmons had delayed receiving medical attention because he did not want to spend his birthday in the hospital.

Witness accounts collected for the report indicate that on the evening of July 11, Simmons had experienced significant dizziness. The following morning, he was found on the floor. His household manager helped him into bed.

“He refused to seek medical care because he wanted to spend his birthday (07/12/2024) at home and agreed to seek medical care the following morning (07/13/2024),” the report reveals.
