    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.

        From the article:

        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.

      Someone might try to sue over hurt feelings, but there have to be damages.

      What are your damages from doing a workout while there is a dead body in another part of the building?

      It’s planet fitness. They’re not known for customer service. They’re known for being the bare minimum mildly predatory cheapo gym.

      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.

      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.

        If this is true it’s likely location dependent. Here the fire department will hose the scene down since they’re there anyways and towing companies are responsible for cleaning up debris.
