The last photograph of Richard Simmons was revealed by his staff that he had planned to share with his fans before his shocking passing at the age of 76 a week earlier on July 13.
The fitness guru was found dead in his Los Angeles home after falling in the bathroom the night before. A police investigation has since been launched into his final hours and the cause of his death has yet to be revealed to the public.
This week, he was laid to rest and his grave was lined with pink roses in exclusive images obtained by DailyMail.com.
His staff took to X on Saturday to share the latest photo of Simmons, which showed the star with gray hair and wearing an orange NASA uniform.
‘From Richard’s staff: Hi everyone, Richard worked really hard on his posts for you,’ they began.
‘I had a lot of ideas and worked ahead… going back to each one, making changes until it was exactly how I wanted it before publishing it.’
