The Death of Elisa Lam

Elisa Lam was a young college student whose body was found inside a water tank atop the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. She was last seen alive inside the hotel, exiting and re-entering the elevator, seemingly talking to someone in the corridor.

An autopsy revealed that there was no evidence of physical trauma that may have led to her death, stating that it was likely to have been accidental. Theories on what happened to Lam vary from bipolar disorder to the infamous “Elevator Game” that is paranormal in nature. To this day, nobody knows what really happened despite all the investments made to resolve the case.
