Woman Who Found Fitness Guru Richard Simmons Dead Speaks Out
Richard Simmons’ housekeeper and longtime companion has a theory as to how the fitness guru died.
Teresa Reveles, who never granted an interview to the press during Simmons’ lifetime, opened up about their relationship and his final days to People, telling the magazine in a story published Monday that she discovered his body on the floor of his bedroom the morning after his 76th birthday.
Though he looked “peaceful,” Simmons’ hands were balled into fists, she said. “That’s why I know it was a heart attack. I had a heart attack a few years ago, and my hands did the same.”
