The Mysterious Case of Elisa Lam

There are mysteries that are so eerie and strange that they boggle the mind for days on end. The case of Elisa Lam is one of them. In February 2013, this 21-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada, was found dead inside the Cecil Hotel’s rooftop water tank in Los Angeles. The L.A. County Department of Coroner ruled the death “accidental due to drowning” and said no traces of drugs or alcohol were found during the autopsy. However, there is much more to the story than what is implied by police reports. The first piece of evidence that needs to be considered is an elevator surveillance tape that recorded Elisa’s behavior only a few moments before she lost her life.

The four-minute video posted on YouTube shows Elisa pressing all of the elevator buttons and waiting for it to move. Seeing that the elevator doors are not closing, starts behaving extremely bizarrely. Here’s the video.

At first, Elisa enters the elevator and apparently presses all of its buttons. She then waits for something to happen but, for some reason, the elevator door doesn’t shut. She starts to look around, as if she is expecting (or hiding from) someone. At 1:57, her arms and hands start moving in a very strange matter (almost not human) as she appears to be talking to someone, something … or nothing at all. She then walks away. The elevator door then shuts and appears to start working again.

Right after the events of the video, Elisa apparently gained access to the rooftop of the hotel, climbed to its water tank and, somehow, ended up drowning in it. Her body was found two weeks after her death, after hotel guests complained about the water’s taste and color. Incredible.

Seeing the surveillance footage, most people would conclude that she was under the influence of drugs. However, Elisa did not have a history of drug use and her autopsy concluded that no drugs were involved. When one looks at the context and the circumstances of this death, things become even more mysterious.

The rooftop area was protected by an alarm system, and the water tank was reportedly difficult to reach. So how did she get up there undetected? And how did she close the lid to the water tank after herself?

Shortly after the discovery of Elisa Lam’s body, a deadly outbreak of tuberculosis occurred in Skid Row, near Cecil Hotel. You probably won’t believe the name of the test kit used in these kinds of situations: LAM-ELISA.

A terrible way to die for anyone, but what do you expect us to do with this? Discuss what might or might not have happened? I personally don't see the point in that but have at it. Keep it clean though.

Not that interested into looking into this but come at me ghosts, I could use the entertainment =)

edit: youtube experts appear to believe she was bipolar btw ...

Oh, goddammit, I was just about to go to sleep. Not watching this until morning.

Pretty much this. I'm a little surprised this is only now making it's way to SRF.

I remember seeing it somewhere a while ago, and it was exactly what XMoshe described. People discussing what might or might not have happened, arguing, trying to throw "facts" and "evidence" around.

Here you go antics:

she was basically blind without her glasses iirc and she didn't have them on in that video, which could have explained her behavior with the elevator buttons. there was some good theories out there that were more interesting than "loldrugs" including the glasses angle + she was killed by an employee who knew their way around the surveillance system.

anywho, i don't really think there's anything wrong with discussing a weird case/conspiracy like this. it's in no way worse or less discussable than what vegeta tosses on these boards on a bi-daily basis these days anyways.

for anyone who's into this kind of thing

edit: also there's part of this that's made up, and i'm 90% sure it's the outbreak. if you care and look hard enough you'll find confirmation. cbf

This is some good creepypasta

What an horror story. Well, She looks as if she was talking with someone.

I didn't understand this bit.
