The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the death of a man who was found inside a Planet Fitness on Monday on the city’s southside.

The man was identified as Derek Sink, 39, by the Marion County Coroner’s office. The coroner’s office had not determined the cause or manner of death as of Tuesday.

Police received a report at about 8:26 a.m. Monday that a body had been found inside of a tanning bed in the Planet Fitness at 8707 Hardegen St.

When police arrived they located Sink, who was reported missing on Sunday by his family, according to police records. His family had last heard from Sink on Friday.

Members of Sink’s family confirmed Sink had gone into the tanning bed on Friday and was found dead on Monday, according to WTHR13.

The south Indianapolis Planet Fitness hours indicate that the gym closed at 9 p.m. Friday and was open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. On Monday the gym opened at 5 a.m. and Sink was found shortly before 9 a.m.

As of now, police are investigating the case as a death investigation and not a homicide.

The Indianapolis Colts suffered their third consecutive loss on Sunday, this time to the Buffalo Bills, and have dropped to 4-6 on the season.

While, once again, it certainly wasn’t the desired outcome, particularly on the offensive side of the ball where things were clunky, let’s take a look back at this Week 10 matchup with the best photos from this pivotal divisional game.

Windsor Jewelry owner Greg Bires says his upcoming 70th birthday is driving his decision to close the downtown jewelry store in January.

Bires, Windsor’s owner since 1998, and his wife, Lynn, placed going-out-of-business signs in windows at the store at 16 N. Meridian St., during the weekend.

One sign reads, “Greg and Lynn are retiring!”

“I have eight grandchildren, between Lynn and I, and they all live out of town,” said Bires, who will celebrate his 70th birthday in December. “I’m missing them growing up, which is probably the biggest reason I’m doing this. I want to be able to spend a little time with them before they’re teenagers.”

Sig Asher opened Windsor Jewelry in the bygone Lyric Theater building, 135 N. Illinois St., in 1919. Asher’s son-in-law, Herman Logan, owned the store from 1946 to 1998.

Windsor moved from Illinois Street to its 3,000-square-foot Meridian Street location just south of Monument Circle in 1970. Bires, who grew up in Gary, was hired by Logan to work in jewelry repair in 1984.

Bires eventually learned the retail side of the business and purchased Windsor when Logan retired.

Today, Bires said it would be a longshot for someone to secure funding to buy the business. Choosing a liquidation sale as his best option, Bires said he’s open to selling the “Windsor Jewelry” name to a potential buyer.

The pandemic transformed Windsor Jewelry into a destination store, Bires said. Although fewer people have worked downtown on a daily basis in recent years, Windsor persevered thanks to its history and reputation, he said.

“We’ve developed a lot of relationships over the last 100 years,” Bires said. “We have fifth-generation customers. One of the things I get the most enjoyment out of is when a guy that I sold an engagement ring 25 or 30 years ago brings his son or daughter in for me to sell them an engagement ring. I think that says we did something right.”

Windsor Jewelry is expected to close by mid-January, Bires said.
