An investigation is underway in Indiana after a missing man was found dead at a gym on Monday.
On Friday, Derek Sink, 39, went into a tanning bed at a Planet Fitness gym in Indianapolis. WTHR reported that he was found dead in the tanning bed three days later.
Sink’s aunt told the news outlet that the family reported him missing on Friday. Sink allegedly had substance abuse issues and a needle was discovered near his body.
Sink’s aunt also said that Sink was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of his disappearance, which helped investigators determine he never left the gym.
A woman at Planet Fitness on Monday told WTHR that she and other gymgoers noticed a foul smell that got stronger near the tanning rooms.
Sink’s cause of death is unconfirmed as of Tuesday. Planet Fitness said it is also investigating.
