Richard Simmons, the well-known fitness instructor who sadly passed away at 76 in Los Angeles on July 13, leaves a void in the hearts of his fans and family. A month after his demise, the cause of death of this fitness legend has now been disclosed.

According to the Los Angeles Coroner’s office, Richard passed away due to an accident compounded by the effects of recent falls and heart disease. They officially confirmed his cause of death during a phone call with Lenny on August 21st.

Besides the medication given to Richard and no signs suggesting wrongdoing, the results from the toxicology test came back clean. The family is expressing their thanks to everyone for their kindness and sympathy at this time of deep sorrow.
