Man, 27, Found Dead In Tanning Bed At Mercer County Gym

A 27-year-old New Jersey man was found dead this week in a tanning bed in a gym, police said.

Nicholas Ricigliani, 27, of Hamilton Township, Mercer County was identified as the victim. He was found at Crunch Fitness at 2465 South Broad St. in Hamilton, police said.

The incident happened on Monday, when Hamilton police were dispatched to Crunch Fitness and discovered Ricigliani. The victim was located by gym employees in the tanning bed.

Investigators have no indication that foul play was involved, police said. The victim was transported by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office to determine cause of death.

Ricigliani was born in Trenton and he was a lifelong Hamilton Township resident, outside of living in Long Branch for two years, according to his Brenna Funeral Home obituary.

Ricigliani was employed by Acme Supermarket in Bordentown for three years, and then moved to Long Branch, where he worked for two years at the Ocean Place Resort and Spa.

A 2009 graduate of Hamilton High School West, Ricigliani played baseball and basketball for Hamilton Little Lads and in the CYO league, and football with Pop Warner and Hamilton Football League, according to his obituary.

His passion was music, cooking, and working out at the gym. He was an avid Green Bay Packers and New York Yankee fan, but most of all enjoyed spending time with family and friends, according to his obituary.
