A man was found dead inside a tanning bed at a Planet Fitness gym on Monday in Indianapolis, Ind., authorities said.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office on Tuesday identified the deceased man as 39-year-old Derek Sink, though the office had not yet determined the cause or manner of death.

“Nobody ever thinks you are going to go to the gym Monday morning and potentially be in the same building as a dead body,” Planet Fitness member Elizabeth Len said.

Len said her Monday morning workout started like any other day until she noticed a foul smell.

“I was sniffing, trying not to look crazy, but something smells really awful here,” Len said.

The smell came from one of the tanning bed rooms, where 39-year-old Derek Sink was found dead.
