AlanRickman1946 Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Man found dead in tanning bed at Planet Fitness in Indianapolis 3 days after he walked into the gym An investigation is underway to determine what led to the death of a man whose body was found inside a tanning bed three days after he entered a Planet Fitness in Indianapolis. Just before 8:30 a.m. on Monday, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department received a report of a body found at Planet Fitness. The Marion County Coroner's Office identified the man as 39-year-old Derek E. Sink. According to police records obtained by 13News, Sink's family last had contact with him on Friday, and they reported him missing on Sunday. Police could only confirm to Fox News Digital that they were investigating a death at the gym and did not elaborate on the details of the investigation. A woman who was at Planet Fitness on Monday morning told 13News that she and other members noticed a foul smell in the building that got worse near the tanning rooms. The woman also questioned how something like this could happen. "The tanning bed has a door, I believe, but still, why are we not concerned that the tanning bed has been closed for three days, potentially?" Elizabeth Len asked. Sink's family told 13News that he struggled with drugs and a needle was reportedly found in the room with him, while his aunt told the news station he was wearing an ankle monitor that helped investigators determine he never left the gym. Planet Fitness released a statement to Fox News Digital confirming the death and shared their condolences. "We were deeply saddened by the passing of one of our members, and the franchise owner is working with the local authorities in their investigation. At Planet Fitness, we have robust operational brand protocols in place, as the safety and well-being of our members is our top priority. We are working closely with our local franchisee to ensure they are upholding those brand protocols," McCall Gosselin, chief corporate affairs officer at Planet Fitness, said in a statement. Sink's family also told 13News that they hope to see stricter policies on cleaning and an end-of-day checklist from the staff to prevent this from happening to another family. The circumstances of Sink's death remain under investigation.

Slap Posted November 15 Posted November 15 (edited) Maybe there were cleaners or workers who noticed it but pretended not to so they didn't get dragged into it or implicated. I don't imagine anybody wants to be the one to find a dead body let alone when you're cleaning a gym like they don't get paid enough for this ****. Feel sorry for everyone involved.

Not saying the cleaners caused his death. He didn't die because they neglected the clients. He died because he used drugs. What drama is that exactly.

People don't always react the way you'd expect when they see something messed up. I'm just putting forward a guess. I'm not excusing their behavior.

The7thStranger Posted November 15 Posted November 15 Sounds like he overdosed while in the bed, and the staff failed to check on the use of the beds or clean them before closing. Tragic and could have potentially be avoided.

Not saying the cleaners caused his death. I know, but the idea of the cleaners purposefully ignoring a dead body is absolutely insane
