Elisa Lam - The girl in the water tank

On February 19th 2013 the naked body of 21 year old Elisa Lam was found in the water tank on the roof at The Cecil Hotel in LA. Residents had been complaining that the water was running slow, had an odd taste and was looking a little brown so the tank was checked and there she was.

She was last seen alive on January 21st and once she was found they checked over the video from the lift and found this.  No one has been able to pin down exactly what she is doing or why but the theories are all over the net.  The most accepted one is some kind of mental episode due to her background with depression and bipolar disorder and the four medications she was taking for it.  It was ruled that she died of accidental drowning which they do believe was most likely self inflicted.



There are still a lot of questions around the case though as to how she managed to get up there to the roof, how she managed to get in the tank and how she managed to drown in it unassisted.  Some people believe there is someone unseen in this video that is the cause of her freak out while others have suggested demonic possession.  There are even conspiracy theories about her being involved in something to do with Tuberculosis research as the vaccine for it is called Lam-Elisa.  Thoughts?
