He will be missed by us and by many. We are grateful to have known him and inspired by his example.”
Plitt “was as nice as he was beautiful,” tweeted Andy Cohen. “We couldn’t take our eyes off Greg Plitt after we cast him on “Work Out”… (he) seemed invincible, like Superman.”
A train passenger told ABC7 that Plitt had a camcorder in his hand when he was hit. Plitt had apparently made fitness videos in the spot before. The incident is still under investigation.
