Police in Indiana have arrested a woman for her alleged role in the overdose death of a 39-year-old man whose body was found inside a tanning bed three days after he entered a Planet Fitness gym.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) said in a news release that Heather Bradford, 41, was arrested and charged with dealing a controlled substance resulting in death, narcotics possession and for having two active warrants in Morgan County, Indiana.

Police responded to Planet Fitness just before 8:30 a.m. Nov. 11 after receiving a report that a body had been discovered in the gym.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office identified the man as Derek Sink. According to police records obtained by 13 News, Sink’s family last had contact with him Nov. 8 and reported him missing Nov. 10.

Sink was pronounced dead at the gym, police said Tuesday, and the coroner’s office determined his cause of death to be a drug overdose.

The IMPD Overdose Death Task Force (ODTF) took over the case, and, through a variety of investigative techniques, detectives identified Bradford as a suspect in Sink’s death.

The next day, Bradford was located at a gas station in Mooresville, Indiana, where she was taken into custody without incident by ODTF Investigators along with Indiana State Police and members of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

“These are extremely challenging and emotionally heavy investigations, but they are vital in our effort to combat the ongoing overdose epidemic,” IMPD Chief Chris Bailey said. “Each arrest represents months of work, cross-agency coordination, and a deep commitment to seeking justice for families who’ve lost loved ones.”
