    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 u the

    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,

    Before he became a fitness guru, Plitt worked as a U.S. Army

    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.

    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.
