Richard Simmons' death certificate sheds no further light on the mystery surrounding his death ... but does provide some interesting details on his final resting place.

In the document obtained by TMZ ... Richard's manner of death is not listed -- instead, it notes the manner of death is still pending an investigation. This explains why there is still no cause of death to report.

However, it appears the fitness guru -- who is actually referred to as a "Health Motivator" on the cert -- has already been laid to rest a week after his death. Per the doc, Richard was buried here in L.A. at the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park and Mortuary.

Richard Simmons' housekeeper tried to get him to a doctor after he fell in his bathroom, but Richard pushed it off, because he just wanted to stay home for his birthday ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported, Richard fell Friday evening at home, in a bathroom ... and according to law enforcement sources, when his housekeeper came to help him up, she implored Richard to seek medical attention that night.

We're told Richard had described feeling dizzy before the fall, but he rejected the housekeeper's suggestion about seeing a doctor ... telling her maybe he'd go Saturday, but particularly didn't want to go that night as it had been his 76th birthday. So, she helped him back to bed, and that was that.

2:46 PM PT -- We're told Richard Simmons fell in the bathroom in his home, though it's unclear if that's where the housekeeper found him.

LAPD's elite Robbery Homicide Division responded to his house because this is a high-profile death though they still do not suspect foul play.

2:10 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources say Richard took a fall last night, which may be connected to his passing.

Richard Simmons -- the legendary fitness guru -- has died at 76 ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police and fire responded to a call from his housekeeper just before 10 AM Saturday and pronounced him dead at the scene. We're told no foul play is suspected at this time, and cops are investigating it as a natural death.

The 35-year-old former defensive end -- who hung up his cleats after the 2022 season -- threw up the steamy pic on his X page ... showing he's still got some massive pecs, bulging quads and boulder-sized shoulders even in retirement.

Fortunately, Simeon, who wasn't home at the time (or perhaps fortunate for the burglars), had an alarm and security cameras ... and he was quickly alerted to the intrusion. Cops were called, however, despite a quick response, the men were already gone by the time police arrived.

Welcome to our new shopping section, What's The Big Frigin' Dupe?!, where we explore the world of affordable alternatives to high end products ... a.k.a. "dupes" in internet slang.

This one's a head turner for sure (and for more than one reason). Two different brands of yoga leggings ... one's a household name and the other is an up-and-comer that just might become a favorite of yoga mommies and athleisure fans across America.

They look nearly identical ... So what's different? Glad you asked, because us sleuths at TMZ have found the devil is always in the details.

(Don't worry ... none of these or any future products are knock-offs. They're just very similar in design.)

These are the classic 28" inseam Lululemon leggings adored by yoginis and chai latte chugging mommies across the nation.

With a skinny leg style, regular fit, and super stretchy material there's a reason these are so beloved.

As one verified buyer noted: "It took me so long to purchase these. I just ordered my second pair. They are a perfect fit, and as my daughter says, they make your butt look great!"

While another wrote: "Ive got mostly Alo brand and these are my absolute favorite. I wish i wouldve made the switch to Lululemon earlier because omggg SO soft and shapes perfectly".

Prices range from $81.50 - $111.00 depending on color and size.

The Butterluxe CRZ YOGA pants, like the Lululemons above, feature a high waisted design with a 28'' inseam.

While these are not technically dupes they seem to fill a need for a less expensive alternative to the uber-famous, ultra-expensive Lulus ... I mean who doesn't like a deal?

Fans of the brand swear by how soft and luxurious they feel ... at a third of the cost of a pair of Lululemon leggings.

While there was some debate over durability ... the majority of Amazon customers seemed to think this was a quality buy.

One satisfied customer shared: "These are buttery soft, the most comfortable and flattering leggings I have ever owned. I’m 5’10” and they are just the perfect length for me so I’d say ideal for ladies on the taller side. They don’t make you look like a cupcake when you bend because there’s no seam on top, just folded fabric. Perfect for working out and on the go, allow full range of movement without suffocating you like some leggings with tight waistbands do. Have them in 4 colors so far and just ordered more. Oh and they do make your bum look nice."

While another five star reviewer added: "A few months ago I purchased multiple leggings from different brands to see which ones I liked best; softness, durability, squat proof, and length. This were by far my favorite ones. I’d definitely buy them again."

Prices range from $32.00 - $36.00 depending on color and size.

These are the Invigorate High-Rise Tight 25" Lululemon leggings that ride just above the ankle.

Fans of the style love wearing them on hikes, to the gym, to yoga and pilates or to just lounge around the house.

As one satisfied customer noted: "Really loving these leggings very comfortable. Great for hiking, weight lifting or just relaxing. The pockets are the big selling point for me."

Prices range from $91.95 - $178.00 depending on size and color.

These CRZ YOGA Butterluxe High Waisted Lounge Legging 25" have earned a cult following.

As one satisfied buyer noted: "These have served me well! I've owned them for half a year, and they're still going strong. And I wear them a LOT. One thing I particularly appreciate is that they're soft, but they have just enough spandex/elastic material to keep their shape. They don't droop or get dirty easily like a lot of the more cotton-y ones do. They do have some pilling, but it's hard not to with soft material and heavy use. Far less pilling than I thought they would have by now!"

While another wrote: "I own Lulu and the CRZ but find myself grabbing these more! I wear them while working out (running, hiit, lifting) or on more casual days. I’ll even wear them with sweaters in the winter as leggings. The top of the pants are thin so they don’t squeeze your stomach and they don’t roll down on me at all. I even love that they’re not see through, even when I bend down. I wash them in my washer but I try to air dry them to keep them in good conditioner for longer. However, I have dried in dryer with no issues. I’ve had them for months and still they look new!"

Price is currently $32.00.

Paige VanZant says her modeling career is so lucrative, she is no longer pursuing fighting full-time ... admitting combat sports is more like a recreational activity than a profession to her these days.

The 30-year-old fighter-turned-OnlyFans model was a rising star in UFC ... earning a 5-4 record during her time in Dana White's organization.

But, she's now making a name for herself in an entirely different industry ... and ultimately, the money she's raking in from it has led her to shift gears for good.

Ashley Benson's not here for the weight loss drug rumors anymore -- she's hitting back hard, crediting her post-baby bod to a good old-fashioned gym grind.

It all kicked off when a fan commented, "How was she JUST pregnant?!?" on an IG snap of Ashley, who gave birth in February, rocking a black tank top and gray sweatpants. Another user responded to the fan's question by posting an Ozempic ad.

Ashley shared a screenshot of that exchange to her IG Stories Monday, and dismissed the Ozempic remark as hilarious ... 'cause it undermined her gym hustle.
