Man Found Dead In Tanning Bed At Planet Fitness 3 Days After Entering Gym
The body of an Indiana man was found inside a tanning bed at a Planet Fitness in Southside Indianapolis on Monday - three days after he's believed to have checked into the gym, authorities said.
The victim, identified as 39-year-old Derek Sink, was reported missing on Sunday, The Indianapolis Star reported, citing police records.
Sink was on house arrest for a drug-related offense and didn't come home Friday night, his grandmother and brother, who didn't want to be identified, told local television station WISH.
According to his family, Sink struggled with drug addiction and a needle was found in the tanning booth next to him, WTHR reported.
“This remains an ongoing death investigation,” a county spokesperson told the publication.
Sink’s family told NBC affiliate WTHR that he went into the tanning bed on Nov. 8. His aunt said they reported him missing that same day.
Sink was wearing an ankle monitor, according to his family, which helped authorities discover he never left the gym location. His family claimed he was struggling with a drug addiction and a needle was found in the room with him.
A woman who entered the Planet Fitness on Nov. 11 told WTHR that she and other gym members noticed a foul smell in the building that seemed to be permeating from the tanning rooms.
Following Sink’s death, Planet Fitness said it was “deeply saddened by the passing of one of our members.”
