    So he was wearing an ankle monitor, got reported missing on Friday, the monitor showed him being at the gym and not moving, and it still took the cops until Monday to find his body?

    WTF. Do Indianapolis cops get weekends off? And no one at the gym reported the horrible, rancid, smell coming from the tanning room? None of the employees checked out the smell of death emanating from a room they should be cleaning nightly?

    I’ve been apathetic at jobs before, but planet must really suck your soul out to be that apathetic. I’ve smelled dead bodies before, it’s not exactly something you just walk passed and think “oh that’s ripe”

    Damn. Surviving the weekend in a tanning bed is the next-to-last step in cancelling a Planet Fitness membership. He was so close.

    There was a needle so likely OD.

    But I saw a different article that said the gym continued to stay open even while the coroner was collecting the body and staff just pretended everything was normal.

    I can’t imagine no one sues over this. Imagine going to the gym, it smelling especially gnarly, and then finding out days later you were breathing in a rotting corpse while doing your miles on a treadmill.

      I’m amazed nobody 1) noticed the smell 2) didn’t realise someone had been using a tanning bed for that long.

      Death has a very specific smell. It’s not one you forget quickly.

        Planet Fitness is a relatively large national chain…

        Some lawyer is taking the case for a cut of it. They might not win, but they’ll sue and likely take a settlement.

      Sounds pretty sheltered tbh fam

      They don’t even clean up vehicle fatalities in the US anymore, just haul away the body while all the blood and giblets are left on the asphalt for the other drivers to grate into the road lmao.

      Comes with the territory of being a corrupt and collapsing country I’m afraid.

    Average temp of tanning beds is 75° Fahrenheit, but they can go up to 86°. If that thing was on all weekend, I can’t imagine how disgusting things were by Monday.
