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.
Elizabeth Len was at that Planet Fitness on Monday morning before law enforcement discovered Sink.
She said she and other members noticed a bad smell in the building near the tanning rooms. “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?” Len said to WTHR.
There was a needle so likely OD.

It’s planet fitness. They’re not known for customer service. They’re known for being the bare minimum mildly predatory cheapo gym.
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.
From the article:
Good luck sueing, I’m sure they signed a doc that says you can’t sue because some made up reason.
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.
I imagine Planet Fitness wouldn’t like to do discovery and list all the times their internal safety protocols failed.
