TMZ says that fitness coach “Richard” Simmons has died.
People in the 1980s knew Simmons, whose real name was Milton Teagle, for his flashy fitness tapes and DVDs.
The death may have been caused by a fall he had in his bathroom last night, according to the police.
According to TMZ, police were called by Simmons’ housekeeper before 10 a.m. and pronounced the star dead when they arrived.
At this point, no foul play is thought to have happened, and the death is being looked into as a natural one.
