Richard Simmons Anatomy Asylum[edit]

There is alot more to that story. Richard Simmons went into partnership with Bally's to open those Anatomy Asylum's all over the Country. Including one here in Downriver area of Detroit. My parents had a membership. Later these Anatomy Asylum's closed due to lack of profit for Bally's

TMZ Reports Richard Simmons Has Passed Away[edit]

TMZ reports he has passed away.

Richard Simmons Dead at 76 https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/13/richard-simmons-dead-dies-fintess-guru/ Atomic Scorch (talk) 20:25, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They've broken a lot of celebrity deaths, and apparently have people who tip them off. We'll wait until a proper news source reports it as well, as I've only seen the Daily Mail cover it. Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed and that's why I didn't update it just yet. However, now local news organizations are reporting that his representative has confirmed his passing. Atomic Scorch (talk) 20:53, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ABC and affiliates are reporting it, and giving more details. We'll get more in depth coverage later today. Looks like natural causes. Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to TMZ, he died from complications due to a fall in his bathroom. 2601:18C:9083:A9D0:EC1E:2D91:A9BB:8E9B (talk) 22:04, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who cares how many days it's been since his birthday?[edit]

Why do editors feel the need to mentioned he died close to his birthday? This is incredibly unimportant information. LilianaUwU ^{(talk / contributions)} 21:39, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

Any particular reason the lead is so short given the proportional length of the article? Viriditas (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sexuality[edit]

The sentence saying that Richard Simmons' sexuality is a subject of speculation has been an interesting info. But now, I believe the sentence has served its purpose. Because Simmons died, the speculations regarding his sexuality will remain being only speculations. And because speculations are not facts, there's does not seem to be any need to have the sentence in the article. Hirameki (talk) 04:04, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
