Richard Simmons’ cause of death revealed

Richard Simmons’ cause of death has been revealed a month after he was found dead in his home.

The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office told Simmons’ brother, Lenny Simmons, that the legendary fitness instructor died due to “complications from recent falls and heart disease as a contributing factor,” family spokesperson Tom Estey tells Page Six Wednesday.

“The toxicology report was negative other than medication Richard had been prescribed,” the rep says, also noting that the manner of death was ruled as “accidental.”
