AceShowbiz - A public memorial service for Greg Plitt has been set for Saturday, January 24. Greg's family released a statement on his website on Tuesday, January 20 to thank fans for their support and invite them to attend the memorial service.
"We are devastated over the loss of our son. Your messages have uplifted us and give us strength; we thank you for that," the family wrote, "Greg's soul is now with our heavenly Father. May his spirit live on through his website and through each of you."
They continued, "As we mourn and honor our son and brother, how prophetic his own words... 'When you are wondering how do you go on? The better question is, how do you NOT go on?' - Greg Plitt."
Fans who want to attend the public memorial service can come to The Church of the Good Shepherd in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles at 2:00 P.M. There will be also another service which will be held in Greg's hometown of Baltimore, Maryland in the following week.
New report says Greg was struck and killed by train at the Burbank Metrolink Station in California after he was trying to outrun it. According to TMZ, Greg was trying to prove the effectiveness of an energy drink.
Law enforcement sources tell the site that they reviewed a video showing Greg standing on the tracks as the train went towards him. Moments before the train struck him, Greg allegedly took off a runner's stance and started running down the track. The train then "clipped" him, tossing him from the track to his death. After getting hit by the train, Greg disappeared from the video.
According to the sources, there were "multiple energy drink bottles" found near the tracks and Greg was filming a commercial for the product before the incident. Authorities believed the fitness model "may have been hopped up from the caffeine."
