FITNESS MODEL, REALITY STAR DIES ATTEMPTING SUPERMAN STUNT

We’d never heard of Greg Plitt before, but apparently he is – or was – a fitness model and star of the Bravo reality television show “Work Out.”

Plitt died on Saturday after being fatally struck by a train north of the Burbank Metrolink Station in Los Angeles.

What happened? The model – who had appeared in campaigns for Under Armour, Old Navy Jeans and Calvin Klein, among others – was reportedly filming a new action video for his website in which he attempted to outrun a speeding train. Plitt may have even been hopped up on caffeine at the time as local law enforcement sources tell celebrity gossip website TMZ they “found multiple energy drink bottles near the track.”

A 37-year-old native of Baltimore, Maryland, Plitt was a U.S. Army Ranger prior to his career as a certified personal trainer and model.

According to TMZ, police have a video that “shows Plitt standing on the tracks as the train barrels toward him.”
