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 known as “Missing Richard Simmons,” investigating his sudden retreat from the general public eye. Hypothesis continued, and in 2022, Simmons reassured followers by way of a press release to the New York Put up that he was “happy, healthy, and living the life he has chosen.”
