Tourists Shocked As Body Found in Hotel Water Tank British tourist Michael Baugh and his wife said water had only dribbled out of the taps at the downtown Cecil Hotel for days. On Tuesday, after showering, brushing their teeth and drinking some of the tap water, they headed down to the lobby and found out why. The body of a Canadian woman had been discovered at the bottom of one of four cisterns (water tanks) on the roof of the historic hotel near Skid Row. The tanks provide water for the hotel taps and would have been used by guests for washing and drinking. "The moment we found out, we felt a bit sick to the stomach, quite literally, especially having drank the water, we're not well mentally," Michael Baugh, 27, said. The remains of Elisa Lam, 21, were found by a maintenance worker at the 600-room hotel that charges $65 a night after guests complained about the low water pressure. Police detectives were working to determine if her death was the result of foul play or an accident. Lopez called it suspicious and said a coroner's investigation will determine Lam's cause of death. Before she died, hotel surveillance footage showed Lam inside an elevator pushing buttons and sticking her head out the doors, looking in both directions. She was later found in the water tank. The Cecil Hotel was built in the 1920s and refurbished several years ago. It had once been the occasional home of infamous serial killers such as Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker, and Austrian prison author Jack Unterweger, who was convicted of murdering nine prostitutes in Europe and the U.S., the Los Angeles Times reported. <****** width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Zq4LmWiDiC0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></******> |

Re: Tourists Shocked As Body Found in Hotel Water Tank She looks like she was playing around in the elevator. Hide and seek with the killer? |

Re: Tourists Shocked As Body Found in Hotel Water Tank Looks to me like she either had a paranoid schizophrenic break with reality or was drugged with something like LSD |

Re: Tourists Shocked As Body Found in Hotel Water Tank See here, there should be a law about putting a special grate over the tank drain pipe so it can't get blocked up like that. ![]() |
