The girl was found in a water tank. Elisa Lamb's mysterious death
Strictly speaking, the death of Canadian student Elisa Lam has, in some way, already been reflected in cinema. True, the film with which this incident is compared was filmed long before the real tragedy. Such is the mysticism. Let us briefly recall this story for those who are not in the know. In 2013, 21-year-old Eliza went on a trip to the United States, from where she constantly informed her parents about her whereabouts, sent photos - in general, gave no reason to worry. But in Los Angeles everything has changed. Elisa, who was staying at the notorious Cecile hotel, stopped communicating. Soon the search began. Eliza's things were in the room, but there was no trace of the girl. She was recorded on an elevator camera before she disappeared. In the recording, the girl behaves strangely, talks to an invisible interlocutor, hides, presses buttons and ultimately comes out on the wrong floor. Elisa Lam's body was found nearly two weeks later in a water tank on the roof of the hotel. Guests began to complain about the strange taste of the water, and employees decided to check the tanks. The most interesting thing is that, according to the hotel management, an ordinary person could not get onto the roof, because all the doors were locked and the alarm system was working. Eliza's body was naked in the tank, her clothes were floating nearby. Due to the fact that the girl had psychological problems, the investigation settled on suicide. But you and I know that there could be other options, right?..
This story also inspired the veteran Sean S. Cunningham, who worked on such horror classics as "Friday the 13th" And "Last house on the left". Cunningham and his company Crystal Lake Entertainment the film was launched Elevator Game(sort of like "The Elevator Game"). This is the name of a Korean urban legend that became popular just after Eliza’s case. It talks about the fact that with the help of an elevator you can travel to other worlds and dimensions - just press a certain combination of buttons. Where the “player” ends up, one can find both death and everything a person needs for happiness. The rules of the game are buried in the depths of the Internet, but many believe that this is not a legend, and the unfortunate Elisa Lam just found her way out of the elevator into the other world. At least spiritually, you already know what happened to the body.
Back in 2014, there were rumors surrounding the Elisa Lam tragedy. Apparently the stars didn't align. Now everything is much thinner. The film is expected to be directed (and also written by) Nicole Jones-Dion(Nicole Jones-Dion), who has not been noted for anything meaningful to this day. The plot will center on a girl who is looking for her sister who disappeared after playing in the elevator. Filming is scheduled to begin in September this year.
I first read about this girl here, then several more articles about her with her name marked, and this is what I will say... I don’t pretend to be the truth, of course, but the journalists themselves contributed a lot to mysticism! Of course, the girl played along with them a lot: why can’t you sit in Vancouver at 21 and you’re heading to California alone, apparently as a “savage”, and not through travel agencies and without company!!! And some relatives... The daughter did not let anyone know about herself for some time (I read somewhere that several days passed, she did not answer calls or receive mail) before they began to look for her!!! Yes, I put the whole neighborhood on edge if I don’t see a child in the yard!!! And yes, Maine, I am also interested in criminology and criminology, and not only as an amateur (but not about that now), and I’ll also say this: the girl may have had a clouding of consciousness, but it is possible that this clouding she made money from drugs!!! Yes, my friends, drugs, especially early ones, are those same creatures... WHAT we perceive as eccentricity exists for them in real life... I read somewhere that relatives and friends deny the fact that Eliza took something and it mixes in the mysticism of history! But, my dears, there are two nuances that should not be forgotten: perhaps Ali tried the thrill for the first time that night!!! Or maybe not, I just tried something stronger than ever! Why were the friends silent? Who in a sober mind will say, but yes, I remember, Eli and I hit the vein every weekend... Eli doesn’t care anymore, but for a friend later, you won’t end up with problems... Then I read that it’s not in her blood found narcotic or other substances in the blood... Like, this is a sacrament, they say, she was sober... The hell with it! This means nothing!!! My friends, the drug industry is now such that they are now mixing such potions that sometimes it is possible to determine their composition only after a thorough examination! But this is not always possible the first time, and a number of examinations are carried out... I have not read anywhere whether any examination was carried out in relation to Eli to identify narcotic substances and how thorough! It’s clear that a free press won’t write something like this, so here’s another bundle of speculation and mysticism! Yes, perhaps nothing was found in the blood, but the unfortunate woman had lain in the water for several days (!)! WHAT DO YOU WANT TO FIND??? Especially if the drug was new (chemically) and that is why it could not be recognized! After all, it also happens: they take a drug addict, there are all the signs of drug intoxication, he himself admits that he hit a vein, or put it in his teeth, they check the mixture he has, but it does not fall under the definition of a narcotic! The drug industry is moving faster than crime experts, and this is a scourge not only of countries in the CIS, but also of all of Europe, and certainly the USA, Australia... Further, the hotel staff were under suspicion, because they had the key, as they say, to all the doors! Including from the roof... But it was not possible to prove their involvement! My dears, there may be ordinary laxity on your face!!! I doubt that this was a luxury hotel, where the staff is really on point and responsible for their own things! You can judge for yourself how our housing and communal services treat their responsibilities: hatches on the roofs and basement doors are open, no matter how the instructions indicate to keep them locked with a key and under constant control... Yes, the hotel is not an abandoned courtyard with a house for relocation, but also there’s a control system, along the way, and one single camera in the elevator that captured the girl – this is an indicator of the hotel’s “security”... I read that her body was found in a closed tank, which ruled out the possibility of suicide! Well, first of all, was it closed? Or was it “closed” at the behest of the journalists? Secondly, look at the tank, fortunately there is a photo on the Internet... This is a tank with a hatch! In general, the tank is really closed! So is it technically (structurally) “closed”? Or is the tank cap closed? In the first case, as we see, there is no mysticism at all, because this is the design of the tank, and in the second, there is no mystery either... Let's say the tank hatch was closed, but this does not mean that the killer closed it! I repeat, there could have been an absurd incident when an employee servicing the facility, seeing the tank hatch slightly open, simply closed it! Tell me - how? Didn't he really see the body? He might not even have seen it... If the body sank to the bottom, and the employee did not have the best eyesight, or for some other reason, he could simply close the hatch, and that would be the end of it!!! And then he was quietly silent to himself, realizing what the matter smelled like (that is, when the police arrived in large numbers)... That’s all mysticism! Of course, I don’t claim anything as the truth, and anyone who loves mysticism can refute my words and conjectures by twirling their finger at their temple... But here in Belarus, where I’m from, literally last week they were looking for a man who disappeared along with his car ... Relatives, police, not indifferent people! Crime was not ruled out, although the man was not particularly involved in anything and was not involved... And then they found his car in an abandoned village on a farm! the car was found, but the man was not... What was the car doing here and where is the owner? Mystic? They are looking for a person at the location of the car... Nothing! Then they found a body at the other end of the village... Do you know where? There was a well in the village, but no one used it, and the locals apparently removed the rings of the well for themselves, and instead there was a simple pit, abandoned and overgrown with grass... So the man didn’t notice her, or maybe he was moving backwards, yes and fell into it... and disappeared, without any mysticism! What was he doing there anyway? They say he was looking for a house for his old age...

In short, it’s clear. IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF SPICE!
Main House answers:
As far as I know, Eliza was supposed to call her parents every day, and they raised the alarm when they did not receive a call from her at the agreed time. In other cases, while the report about the disappearance of a girl in a foreign country went through all authorities, a couple of days were lost before the cops began to move.
As for drugs, I am not a supporter of conspiracy theories :) Forensic examination and toxicological analysis were carried out with the utmost care, tiny traces were found of many medications that Eliza took according to prescriptions a long time ago, but no drugs were found among them. So I just can’t believe in the existence of some kind of stupidity, traces of which remain in the human body.
Bargeld answers:
Well, these are the Chinese. Maybe they paid the doctors so that they would not disgrace the honor of the family to the whole world by declaring that their daughter died in such an undignified way.
The Mysterious Death of Elisa Lam is a true story about the mysterious death of a girl named Eliza Lam. A Canadian student is staying at the damned Cecil Hotel. Her death attracted a lot of public attention due to her strange behavior, which was captured on CCTV footage just minutes before her death.
THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF ELIZA LAM
There are secrets so creepy and strange that they will haunt the mind until the end of time. Elisa Lam's story is one of them.
In February 2013, this 21-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada, was found dead on the roof of the Cecil Hotel in a water tank in Los Angeles. The coroner who performed the autopsy determined that death was the result of an accident and the girl had drowned. During the autopsy, no traces of drugs were found in her body. However, the story is not as simple as the police reports say. First of all, a careful study requires the recording of video surveillance cameras that filmed Eliza in the hotel elevator literally a few minutes before her death. Here's a video.
JavaScript is required to view the video.
The four-minute video, which can be easily found on YouTube, shows Elisa Lam pressing all the buttons on the elevator and waiting for it to move. Seeing that the elevator doors do not close, she begins to behave extremely strangely.
First, Eliza enters the elevator and starts randomly pressing all the buttons. Then she waits for something, but for some reason, the elevator doors do not close. She begins to look around as if she is waiting for someone or trying to hide from someone. At the 1:57 mark, she starts waving her hands very strangely, as if talking to someone or something... Then she leaves. The elevator doors then close and the elevator starts operating again.
Immediately after the events captured on video, Elisa walked onto the roof of the hotel, climbed into a water tank and drowned in it. Her body was found two weeks after her death, after hotel guests began complaining about the strange taste and color of the water. Incredible.
Having seen the CCTV footage, most people would have concluded that the girl was under the influence of drugs. However, Eliza did not use drugs, as evidenced by the autopsy results. When you start studying Elisa Lam's story in more detail, things get even more confusing.
The Dark History of the Cecil Hotel
Built in the 1920s, the Cecil Hotel was intended to serve as a haven for wealthy individuals and businessmen who might stay in Los Angeles for a day or two. However, the hotel was soon overshadowed by other more glamorous hotels. The hotel is located in a disadvantaged area of Skid Row, and soon the owners had to change their policy, renting out rooms for a long period at low prices. The hotel's reputation quickly declined when cases of numerous murders and suicides that took place within the hotel's walls became known, as well as the fact that famous serial killers lived there.
Part of the dark history of the Cecil Hotel were two famous maniacs, Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger.
Ramirez, nicknamed the “Night Stalker,” a maniac, lived at the Cecil Hotel in 1985, in a room on the top floor. He rented it for only $14 a day. While remaining undetected, he was able to kill 13 women. He hid his bloody clothes in a trash can in the evenings, and then returned to his lair through the back door.
Jack Unterweger, also a notorious maniac, was a European journalist who reported on Los Angeles crime for an Austrian magazine in 1991. He settled at the Cecil Hotel, as if paying tribute to Ramirez.
He was accused of killing three prostitutes in Los Angeles during his stay at the Cecil Hotel.
Richard Ramirez and Jack Unterweger
In the 50s and 60s, the Cecil Hotel became famous as the site of suicides who jumped from the hotel windows.
Helen Gurney, a woman in her 50s, jumped from a seventh floor window to her death on a hotel overhang on October 22, 1954.
Polina Otton, 27 years old, jumped from a ninth floor window after an argument with her estranged husband on October 12, 1962. Ottone fell on George Gianinni, 65, who was walking along the sidewalk. Both died on the spot.
There was also a murder of a guest at the hotel. Osgood, nicknamed “Pigeon Goldie,” a retired telephone operator who was known as the protector and feeder of pigeons in a nearby park, was found dead in his hotel room on June 4, 1964. He was stabbed, strangled and raped. This crime remains unsolved.
Elisa Lam's case is just another horrific chapter in the hotel's history, and we're left wondering what the hell is going on in this place?
Mystical coincidences
Another interesting fact is that Elisa Lam's case is remarkably similar to the plot of the 2005 horror film “Dark Waters.”
Dahlia, the film's protagonist, moves into an apartment complex with her young daughter, Cecilia.
Both names are symbolic and echo real life. Black Orchid (Black Dahlia) is the nickname given to Elizabeth Short, a woman who was the victim of a grisly murder in 1947 - believed to be a ritualistic murder. She is said to have been at the Cecil Hotel and drinking in a nearby bar shortly before she was killed.
The name of the daughter Cecilia, in the film, surprisingly echoes the name of the hotel “Cecile”.
After moving into a new apartment, Dalia notices dark water flowing from the ceiling into their apartment. In the end, the woman discovers that a girl named Natasha Rimski drowned in a water tank on the roof of their house, which is why the water turned dark. The building owner knew about this but took no action. Elisa Lam's body also remained in the water tank for two weeks until residents began complaining about the “dark water.”
The ending of the film is also frighteningly juxtaposed with reality. In a malfunctioning apartment building elevator, the ghost of Cecilia's mother braids her hair.
Was Elisa Lam the victim of one of the ritual murders, where the killer mirrored the plot of a Hollywood film?
Another strange coincidence. Shortly after Elisa Lam's body was discovered, a deadly outbreak of tuberculosis occurred in the Skid Row area near the hotel. You probably won't believe it, but the medical term for tuberculosis testing that is used in such situations is LAM-ELISA. This is just an incredible coincidence.
Unsolved mystery
Los Angeles authorities ruled in June 2013 that Elisa Lam's death was an accident and that Elisa was likely insane when she committed suicide.
However, this formulation does not provide answers to all questions. How did Eliza, who was supposedly out of her mind, end up getting to the water tanks, which are very difficult to access? How did she get on the roof? And how did she close the lid of the water tank?
As is usually the case, the authorities did not share the results of the investigation into such a strange death. What really happened? Why are there so many mysterious coincidences? Why did Elisa Lam act so strangely in the elevator? This whole story is literally surrounded by mystical secrets, and the authorities, it seems, simply did not want to get involved in this.
We want to end this article with a slogan from the movie “Dark Waters”:
“Some mysteries are not meant to be solved.”
FavoritesThis shocking story of ghosts, maniacs, Freemasons, the Illuminati and sacrifice excited America in early 2013. Young Elisa Lam, a tourist from Canada, arrived in Los Angeles on January 26 and stayed at the inexpensive Cecile Hotel in the city center. She never returned home, and none of her relatives and friends expected such an end to her short and bright life.
The 21-year-old Canadian of Chinese descent was an exemplary daughter, calling her parents every day and talking about all her adventures while traveling around the United States. However, soon after her arrival in the City of Angels, the calls stopped. On January 31, Eliza was seen for the last time - she went to a bookstore near the hotel to buy souvenirs for her family, returned to Cecil, rode the elevator - she was recorded by a camera in the cabin - and... disappeared without a trace.

Dark Waters: Where Was Elisa Lam Hiding?
Traces of Eliza were discovered on February 19, when hotel guests began to complain to staff about the quality of the water. The liquid in the taps darkened, the pressure weakened, a strange taste appeared... The employees climbed to the roof where the water supply system is located in American high-rise buildings. There, in a tightly closed tank, a naked Eliza was found, for whom her parents had been looking for two weeks with the police at that time. They came to the United States when their daughter stopped calling and sending emails.
The girl’s body, which had been poisoning the water and life of hotel guests with decomposition products for more than a dozen days, was removed and sent for a forensic examination. Not only grieving relatives, but also thousands of observers around the world awaited the results with bated breath. And so - on February 22, the TV news announcer reports that the cause of death... has not been determined. A toxicological analysis, which will be ready at the end of April, may provide some answers.
The biggest mystery in this case is the video from January 31, which shows Eliza in the hotel elevator. She presses the same combination of buttons several times in a row, runs out of the elevator, hides, wrings her hands, talks to someone outside the camera's field of view - or to herself. Having got off on the fourteenth floor (her room was located on the fourth), the girl never returned to the elevator.
The story of poor Eliza resembles either a Japanese horror film, or a real Hollywood thriller with many unknowns, or the beginning of a mystical novel about, for example, a global Illuminati conspiracy. We’ve almost figured out who they are, but why did they need a random Canadian tourist?
Or not random?
However, everything is in order. Let's look at the most common versions of Eliza's death on the Internet.
Murder - accidental or planned.
Some Internet users claim that Eliza’s inappropriate behavior in the elevator is the result of drug or alcohol intoxication. At home, in Canada, the girl did not drink and was not interested in illegal substances. Perhaps, in five days in such a nest of depravity as Los Angeles, she managed to get into bad company, who treated her to drugs.
According to this version, it was with new acquaintances - or with the characters of drug hallucinations - that Eliza talked as she ran out of the elevator. Once on the roof with the “company,” she could somehow upset her companion or companions, and she was drowned in the tank. First of all, the Cecil staff should be suspected here, because only they could have direct access to the tanks and ladders.
But the case fell apart - not a single suspect could be identified. Interesting results also came from the pathologist. According to him, no known drugs, hallucinogens, or alcohol were found in the tourist’s tissues. Also, no traces of any violence against her were found: there were no blows, abrasions, or signs of a struggle. Moreover, it was established that death occurred in the water - she choked, but did not try to avoid it. The extract from Toronto states that she was not registered and was not seen in subcultural associations, did not express a desire to commit suicide, etc.
Based on the results of the autopsy, a decision was made - the case was closed, the death was declared an accident. How Eliza got onto the roof, how to explain her strange behavior before her disappearance - and, apparently, death - the police are no longer interested in all these questions.
Suicide
Many researchers of this case are confident that Eliza suffered from schizophrenia or another mental disorder, although her relatives do not confirm this version. This is evidenced by the girl’s unusual behavior in the video and several blog entries. Besides, no one she knows in Vancouver knows why she suddenly went to California alone. According to doctors, the symptoms of schizophrenia can be hidden until a certain time and appear under stress.
However, recently in her diary on the blog site Tumblr.com, Eliza wrote that she was managing to get rid of depression. She characterized her trip to the USA as a trip to lift her spirits, new experiences, and stories. Eliza loved fashion and music, took a lot of photographs, was a fan of the Harry Potter novels and actor Ryan Gosling, and communicated on the Internet. If it was suicide, it was not planned. In addition, she could not climb to the roof on her own, find and set up a ladder, or open and close the tank.
Mystical death
This option is followed by fans of Japanese horror, who are expecting the imminent appearance of Eliza's ghost in the hotel corridors. The Asian girl who drowned in a water tank on the roof is a character from the famous horror novel Dark Waters by Koji Suzuki. In the book, little Mitsuko accidentally falls into a tank when left unattended and becomes a ghost terrorizing the residents of a high-rise building. In the American film adaptation of “Dark Waters” - let’s note the second coincidence - one of the heroines is called Cecilia...
Some associate the girl's behavior in the elevator with demonic possession or attempts to escape from a supernatural stalker. Eliza looks alternately cheerful and scared, and the strange hand passes, if you look closely, are a little unnatural. Besides, we don’t see who she’s talking to... perhaps she was the only one in this world who could see her mysterious acquaintance?
This version is supported by the flair of despair and hopelessness that has long been hovering around the Cecil Hotel. Mysterious suicides and murders often occurred here; the hotel was a temporary home for two maniacs, as well as for actress Elizabeth Short, who was brutally murdered in 1947.
Illuminati sacrificial ritual
The day Eliza disappeared, January 31, is the eve of Imbolc, a pagan festival celebrated on February 1-2. At Imbolc, the turning point between winter and spring, ancient priestly religions performed rituals involving human sacrifices to please their gods. This fact opens up a string of amazing details about the death of Elisa Lam, from which the skin is covered with goosebumps. Details from the present and the distant past...
Let's start with the person of serial killer Richard Ramirez, who stayed at this hotel in 1985. He is known as a Satanist - some of his 14 victims after death were subjected to abuse similar to the ritual actions of the priests of Lucifer, which also includes the Illuminati. By the way, Ramirez lived on the 14th floor, where Eliza’s elevator ride ended.
A little more about the numbers: in the video you can see exactly what combination of buttons Eliza presses several times in a row. These are 14, 10, 7, 4 and the elevator stop button. The Gospel of John, chapter 4, verses 7, 10, 14 describes Christ’s conversation with a Samaritan woman from whom he asks for water. “Jesus answered and said to her: If you knew the gift of God and Who says to you: Give Me a drink, then you yourself would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water. And whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst; But the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.” Isn't there too much water in one story?..
The next eerie coincidence: in addition to consonance with the English word “lamb” - “lamb, sacrificial lamb”, Lam is the name of the demon that the legendary occultist and Freemason Aleister Crowley, founder and participant of several secret occult societies, spoke about in his notes. His occult works have been cited more than once by those considered to be Illuminati and Freemasons. In 1889, while staying at the Cecil Hotel... but only in London, Crowley wrote the poem "Jephtha" - an adaptation of the biblical apocrypha about a judge who sacrificed his daughter Seilah to the Lord. The names Seila and Elisa consist of the same letters, and both names are translated from Hebrew similarly - “Demanded” and “Dedicated to God.”
During Elisa Lam's stay in Los Angeles, the city was gripped by an outbreak of tuberculosis, the test for which was called - you won't believe it! – LAM Elisa. This test was developed in Vancouver, where Eliza lived with her family after moving from Hong Kong.
The hotel building houses the office of the design agency Invisible Light, whose logo is very similar to the main sign of the Freemasons - the triangle of the All-Seeing Eye. Now the agency does not work; on its page Invisiblelight.tv there is only this symbol.
Signs and coincidences... There are too many of them in this incident. The Illuminati or another force had a hand in the death of Elisa Lamb, but the picture, made up of details, will give odds to any mystical horror film. On the day when the ancient priests performed human sacrifices, a young girl, possibly a virgin, somehow ends up in a huge tank of water. Her body is decomposing, gradually dissolving into liquid. The population of a hotel with six hundred rooms drinks this water for two weeks.
Around the girl’s name, her life, her last day, there are more than a dozen indications that she was doomed to become a victim given to the water. Just as the ancient Jews, Celts, and Germans ate the remains of sacrificial animals, so the guests of the Cecile unknowingly completed a ritual by consuming parts of the remains of Elisa Lamb.
There are many questions in this story, and the main one is why?
Other facts about the Cecil Hotel
The Cecil Hotel is covered in blood. There are many stories about this place related to murders, suicides, rapes, and historically it is located in an area that was once fertile for lovers of sexual pleasures and the underworld. However, renovation work has recently begun there.
Serial killer Richard Ramirez, the "Nightcrawler", often stayed at this hotel, on the 14th floor (which is actually the 13th), where he disposed of his bloody clothing after hunting his victims, remaining in a small room. Sometimes he would stay there for several days, listening to loud music.
Homicidal journalist Jack Unterweger, known as the "Vienna Strangler," also stayed there while researching the history of L.A.'s red light district while killing several prostitutes there.
Elizabeth Short, also known as the "Black Dahlia", stayed temporarily at this hotel shortly before she was brutally murdered: Elizabeth's mutilated body was found on an abandoned lot on South Norton Avenue in Leimert Park, near the Los Angeles city limits. -Angeles. The body was cut into two parts at the waist and dismembered (external and internal genitalia, as well as nipples, were removed). The woman's mouth was cut from ear to ear.
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, in 1962, a woman jumped from a hotel and, while committing suicide, also killed the pedestrian she landed on.
Two years later, Goldie Osgood, the famous "Lady Dove" of Pershing Square, was raped and murdered in her room at the same hotel. Her case remains unsolved.
Formally, the hotel has 14 floors, but in fact there are thirteen. This was done on purpose, due to inherent superstitions. Many US hotels also practice this.
Initially, the hotel officially stated that they had 700 available rooms, however, nowadays only 600 are available. One of the unoccupied rooms is the 666th.
Los Angeles authorities ruled that Elisa was not in her right mind when she committed suicide. But how then was the crazy woman able to go onto the roof without keys to the door, get to the water tanks and close the tank lid from the inside on her own?
There are mysteries that are so mystical and incredible that they excite human minds for years. One of them is the case of Elisa Lam, which occurred in 2013 at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. Eliza was a 21-year-old student from Vancouver, Canada. Her body was found on the roof of the hotel, floating in a water tank. The pathologist at the autopsy determined that death was the result of an accident. No traces of drugs were found in Lam's body. However, the story is not as simple as the police reports say. However, people sometimes die from sudden heart attacks. But Eliza’s death attracted a lot of attention not so much from the place where the corpse was found, but from the strange behavior of the girl, which was captured by a video surveillance camera in the elevator a couple of minutes before the death of the student.
The recording shows Eliza randomly pressing all the elevator buttons and waiting for the doors to close. But this doesn't happen. Then the girl looks around, periodically looks out of the elevator, comes back, leans against the walls, as if hiding from someone, takes some strange steps, acts a little stiffly, presses the elevator buttons again. At some point she starts waving her arms strangely, maybe she is talking to someone? But throughout the recording it is clear that Eliza does not show fear, her movements look playful. A slight smile is noticeable. Then Eliza leaves. After this, the elevator doors close and open a couple of times.
Immediately after the events captured on video, Elisa walked onto the roof of the hotel, climbed into a water tank and drowned in it. Moreover, experts did not find any traces of a struggle for life, such as a deep reflex breath. Perhaps the girl died out of water. Her body was found two weeks after her death, after hotel guests began complaining about the strange taste and color of the water. What happened to her? Los Angeles authorities ruled that Elisa was not in her right mind when she committed suicide. But how then was the crazy woman able to go onto the roof without keys to the door, get to the water tanks and close the tank lid from the inside on her own? Mystic? Probably no.
Lam suffered from bipolar disorder. It affects the emotional background of a person, while the latter retains the clarity of his thoughts. The perception of what is happening can be both negative and positive. It is known that Lam was observed by a psychotherapist and knew about her emotional instability and underwent more than one treatment session. The therapist was confident that Eliza had sufficient self-control. The girl made independent tourist trips more than once, worked as a salesperson in a clothing store, then studied at the university, and worked in a large bank. The stress from such work and study loads was under control. The suicide version is considered untenable.
Elisa Lam wore glasses. If she had myopia, then, left without glasses, the girl could quite easily make strange movements with her hands and act constrained, as can be seen in the video. It is worth noting that the captured corridor is more illuminated than the elevator. Due to changes in illumination, a person with severe myopia experiences disorientation - his sense of touch is reflexively activated. Eliza hesitantly returns to the elevator with her arms and fingers outstretched. Perhaps she is simply assessing her ability to move around the elevator, having difficulty seeing? At first glance, strange hand movements can be mistaken for signs of schizophrenia. But if we remember that many elevators in hotels are equipped with sensors that keep the door from closing, then Eliza simply did not allow the elevator to close with her hands. Pressing a large number of buttons is also aimed at this action.
The most acceptable version is considered to be the murder of Elisa Lam by another person, who, at the time the camera was filming this recording, was in the corridor out of reach of the latter. Eliza entered the elevator, expecting her companion to follow her and intending to play a joke on him. All her movements were the usual childishness in high spirits. When Eliza disappears from the frame, the elevator is called twice more. Who was that man? Perhaps Eliza met one of the guests. Most likely the second person was Asian. It is they who have such “childish” girls, as seen in the video that they consider attractive. Perhaps it was this man who took the poor student onto the roof, killed her and, to hide the circumstances of her death, threw her into a tank of water. Well, the cause of Elisa Lam’s death is not known for sure.
