6. The Death of Elisa Lam
via:imgkid.com
21 year old Canadian student Elisa Lam, who suffered from Bipolar Disorder, was last seen alive on January 31st, 2013. She remained missing for several weeks, until guests at the hotel started complaining of a funny taste in the water at the hotel. When maintenance workers went to check the water tanks, they discovered the body of Elisa. It seems guests had been bathing in and drinking 3 week old corpse fluids. During her disappearance, police released some strange CCTV footage of Lam in the hours before her death. The spine chilling footage shows Lam’s erratic behavior as she frantically pushes buttons on the elevator and makes wild hand gestures. Many speculated about drug use but her toxicology report came back clean. Eventually her death was ruled as accidental but there are many issues that remain unresolved. Why did the elevator stop working when she was frantically pressing buttons but appear to work after she left? How did she get onto the roof of the hotel without setting off the hotel’s alarmed doors? And why would she climb a 10ft water tank, get naked and climb in? CCTV footage that was released had been tampered with and slowed down. 2 years later, there are still many questions that remain unanswered.
