Greg Plitt
TMZ is reporting Bravo reality star and fitness
buff, Greg Plitt, died in Los Angeles last week after trying to
outrun a train. Plitt often made fitness videos on train tracks and
decided he would outrun a moving train, in support of an energy
drink. However, video in police possession indicates Plitt ran out
of steam and was clipped by the train, leading to his death.
Energy drinks have been useful to many in providing
an extra boost before workouts. However, some people have died from
heart attacks after having consumed too many energy drinks.
Excessive consumption of energy drinks can also hype people up to
the point it distorts their perception and ability to think clearly.
Hate to sound cliché, even though it is not alcohol, drink
responsibly.

Bravo Star Died in Superman Stunt Trying to Outrun Train
1/20/2015 1:18 PM PST - Bravo star and fitness
instructor Greg Plitt did NOT die from stumbling on a railroad track
Saturday ... he was fatally struck by a train after trying to outrun
it ... to prove the effectiveness of an energy drink. Law
enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they have reviewed video of the
accident and it shows Plitt standing on the tracks as the train
barrels toward him. Shortly before the train reaches Plitt he
assumes a runners stance and bolts down the track.
The video shows the train closes in on Plitt as he
races at breakneck speed, but he loses the battle and the train
"clips" him ... throwing him off the track to his death. It happens
quickly and after getting struck he disappears from the video. And
law enforcement tells us they found multiple energy drink bottles
near the track and authorities think Plitt may have been hopped up
from the caffeine. We're told he was shooting a commercial for the
product. One of the investigators interviewed someone involved in
Plitt's video shoot who said Plitt was trying to make the point that
the energy drink makes you like Superman ... able to outrun a
speeding train.
