Richard SimmonsAfter Richard fell in the bathroom, his housekeeper wanted to take him to the doctor, but put it off because he wanted to stay home for his birthday, TMZ reported.
As we reported, Richard fell in his bathroom on Friday evening, and police sources say that when his housekeeper came to his aid, she pleaded with him to seek medical attention that evening.
Richard said he had felt dizzy before the fall, but he rejected the housekeeper’s suggestion that he go to the doctor, saying he might go on Saturday but didn’t want to go that night because it was his 76th birthday, so the housekeeper helped him back into bed and that was the end of it.
A housekeeper found Richard unresponsive on the floor next to his bed at about 10am on Saturday morning.
Another source said Richard had no visible signs of trauma, such as bruising or bleeding, after the fall. It is unclear whether the cause of his dizziness or fall is directly related to his death.
Richard is Death declaration Police said no evidence of a crime was found at the scene.
An autopsy has been completed, but the cause of death is pending toxicology test results.
