The death of Richard Simmons is under investigation pending a cause of death from the medical examiner, the Los Angeles Police Department said Monday, two days after the fitness icon was found dead at his L.A. home.
Simmons died Saturday, the day after his 76th birthday.
"We are awaiting the final cause of death ruling from the coroner's office before we can officially close the case," Norma Eisenman, public information officer for the LAPD said Tuesday.
It could take up to six weeks to receive test results.
In an interview with People magazine days before his death, Simmons said he was "grateful" to be alive.
