Maybe an employee tricked her into going up to the roof and then killed her? I dunno. I hope they find out what happened to her.

Ok..so
her name was Elisa LAM but strangely enough there's been an outbreak of tb inthat area of la...so there's a test for tb called lam Elisa....seems kinda off...wonder if it's some kind of weird government cover up or something....hmmmm

Assuming she was DEAD prior to going up to the roof, you could be right but it's not likely she was dead before that. Who knows, maybe some sketchy hotel worker or someone else she knew/didn't know lured her up to the roof to sexually assault her and ended up killing her intentionally or unintentionally. The point is this, it's likely whomever killed her (assuming she was murdered), had to know how to get on the roof, and bypass locks & alarms...

Obviously, right now all we have is conjecture...

Well, not exactly. We do have some facts to work with. Fact one:She was found in the tank. It would be very difficult for someone to carry her up to the top of a tank without help. Ever try climbing a ladder with a body slung over your shoulder? As a steel worker we climb ladders all the time. You must have two hands to climb. Anything between you and the ladder can get you killed or at very least end up with a serious fall. Unless I had more photos you are right, everything else is conjecture.

And oddly enough, you are right about the TB test kits. Very, very strange.

Tourists staying at a Los Angeles hotel bathed, brushed teeth and drank with water from a tank in which a young woman's body was likely decomposing for more than two weeks, police said.

It also seems unlikely that a random guest would have access to the locked roof and be able to switch off the alarm (alarms like that usually require a key or access to the control room/reception)

No, all we have is conjecture...the ladder to the platform was about 10 feet and while it would be difficult yes, it's not impossible. Elise Lam was a small woman, probably weighed less than 100 pounds Who knows, perhaps she went up there willingly...

She sure was acting weird did not see that part on cnn. Must of been something in the water....... Guess the guests will get a lot of money when they fix the LA suer system huh?
