Elisa Lam of Vancouver, British Columbia, arrived at her Los Angeles hotel Jan. 27 and was last seen alive at the hotel Jan. 31.
The cryptic death of a Canadian tourist who was found dead in a hotel roof water tank was declared an accident.
Theories of foul play festered after Elisa Lam's corpse was discovered Feb. 19 above the Cecil Hotel near Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles.
But Lt. Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office confirmed
to the Daily News that her death by drowning was in fact accidental.
Lam, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was on vacation in California
from her home in Vancouver, British Columbia. She arrived Jan. 27 and
was last seen at the hotel Jan. 31.
The speculation surrounding the 21-year-old’s death was largely fueled
by surveillance footage of Lam acting strangely in a hotel elevator. The
video went viral and attracted interest in the case, especially in
Canada and China.
Authorities previously searched the roof but did not think to check the
water tanks. A hotel worker finally found her body when he was sent to
check the 8-foot-tall water tank. Visitors had complained of weak water
pressure.
But they would have been complaining even more if they knew the
details. The tourist's decomposing body was stewing in the very water
that was funneled down to hotel rooms.
After hearing this, hotel guests who drank the peculiar-tasting water felt sick to their stomachs.
