The information of Simmons’ dying comes simply at some point after his 76th birthday.
Simmons stopped making most public appearances in 2014, which led to false rumors that he was being held in opposition to his will. In 2017, journalist Dan Taberski launched a podcast referred to as “Lacking Richard Simmons,” investigating his sudden retreat from the general public eye. Hypothesis continued, and in 2022, Simmons reassured followers by a press release to the New York Publish that he was “comfortable, wholesome, and dwelling the life he has chosen.”
