   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 – 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 – 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.   
      
   You won't be forgotten, Plitt.

   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!

   Sometimes. I had one, now I don't, lost it. Discus did a reboot   
   and when I tried to sign back in, it said I already existed and   
   my edit button was gone.

   This is very tragic. I admit I had never heard of him but I feel   
   bad just the same.

   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!!!
