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.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Temperatures will be much closer to average for this time of year.

This morning:

It is a much colder morning across the area as Canadian high pressure settles in across the Midwest. Temperatures are running about 5 to 10° colder than Monday morning.

Tuesday:

No major problems are expected weather-wise today with clear conditions and lighter winds. Highs will be cooler but much closer to average for this time of year, topping out into the low 50s.

Tuesday night:

A few mid- to high-level clouds will roll through later on tonight, but otherwise we are extremely quiet and chilly with temperatures falling to the mid-30s overnight.

Wednesday: 

Temperatures will warm heading into the midweek, with highs topping out near 60°. A cold front approaching the state will allow for an increase in cloud cover. Clouds will increase through the day and rain chances will return closer to dinner time.

Rain will fill in for the overnight hours. A rumble of thunder can’t be ruled out, but certainly will not be the norm.

Rainfall amounts could reach up to a half an inch around the metro area with higher amounts possible in the southern third of the State.

Thursday:

Some lingering showers across the state for the early morning hours, but much of the day should be dry with decreasing clouds. High temperatures top out into the mid-50s.

7 day forecast:

Dry weather will roll on for the end of the week and at least to start off the weekend. Will be flirting with 60°, which is running about 15 to 18° warmer than average shower and thunderstorm chances. Look to make a comeback as early as Sunday afternoon and evening and could continue for the first few days of next week.

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.
