Richard Simmons’ cause of death has been confirmed.
The fitness guru’s brother, Lenny Simmons, revealed that the star died last month at 76 due to “complications from recent falls and heart disease.”
Lenny “received a call from the LA coroner’s office” Wednesday morning, Simmons family spokesperson Tom Estey told People magazine.
“The coroner informed Lenny that Richard’s death was accidental due to complications from recent falls and heart disease as a contributing factor,” Estey continued. “The toxicology report was negative other than medication Richard had been prescribed.”
“The family wishes to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support during this time of great loss,” the spokesperson added.
Simmons was found dead on July 13, one day after his 76th birthday, by his housekeeper, Teresa Reveles.
