Fitness expert and reality TV star Greg Plitt was struck and
killed by a Metrolink train in Burbank, California, on Saturday.
He was 37.
Police confirmed to NBC Los Angeles that Plitt was struck at
4:05 p.m. on the tracks at Front Street, just north of the
Burbank Metrolink Station.
Sgt. Scott Meadows from the Burbank Police Department told
PEOPLE that the death "appears to be an accident."
"It does not appear to be a suicide," he continued. "A camera
was seized as evidence but it's unclear who it belongs to u the
victim or a witness. From the sound of it, he was filming
something, but I can tell you that no filming permit had been
issued."
Plitt was a renowned fitness expert and appeared on Bravo's Work
Out and Friends to Lovers, which premiered last Monday.
A Bravo spokesperson told PEOPLE: "This is a terrible tragedy.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with Greg's family and
friends."
Andy Cohen reacted to the news of Plitt's death on Sunday,
writing on Twitter: "We couldn't take our eyes off Greg Plitt
after we cast him on Work Out u was as nice as he was beautiful."
"Seemed invincible, like Superman," Cohen added.
Before he became a fitness guru, Plitt worked as a U.S. Army
Ranger after graduating from West Point in 2000.

This guy was messing around on the tracks and told his buddy to
film him. Complete idiot! This guy was NOT a reality tv "star."
Nobody has ever heard of him.

Missing a sensitivity chip are we? I've never heard of him, but
still think this is sad. And he achieved much more graduating
from West Point, than you ever have sitting in your momma's
basement.

Maybe not television but in the world of fitness and
bodybuilding he is an icon. I doubt he was carelessly messing
around taunting trains on the tracks. I'm sure he was trying to
get a close video shot and lights out.

Damn, he was one of those people who motivated me to get into
bodybuilding...
First Zyzz, now Plitt.. It's tough to accept that.

I grew up around trains, constantly walking on their tracks to
go where I needed to go. I always kept and eye out for the
train, you literally can't here them coming!

and when I tried to sign back in, it said I already existed and
my edit button was gone.

I really looked up to thus guy but having a hard time
understanding how this could possibly happen. When trains come
you have loud rounds. It's not like it was a surprise that a
train just appeared. I don't get it. What a waste of an
incredible talent

I was thinking, the only way that makes sense to me, is that he
must of stepped or fell from in front of a standing train onto
the track of a oncoming train. Its very hard keeping an even
footing on train tracks, not an environment to be taken in fun .
Condolences to all those who knew and loved him.

I know exactly where it happened but can't figure out how
someone could be so stupid. Was he wearing earphones or what?
He obviously had the smarts to go to West Point. Very baffling.
Something is missing that the media hasn't picked up on........................................

It is completely unnecessary and inappropriate to call this poor
man stupid. Have a little sympathy and decency.

THIS GUY WAS STUPID!!!! The guy was messing around on train
tracks, telling his buddy to film him. No sympathy for anyone
playing on train tracks. You play, you pay!!!
