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)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

Lead
Any particular reason the lead is so short given the proportional length of the article? Viriditas (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Who cares how many days it's been since his birthday?
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)
- Not necessarily. The topic of nearness of death date to birthdate and other dates of personal importance has been a subject of considerable conjecture over the decades. MaynardClark (talk) 15:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
