Elisa Ham's corpse was identified in the water tank on the top of Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. According to reports, Ham was missing since January.. Detectives are now investigating the matter as a suspicious death.
According to CNN, a maintenance worker was on the rooftop trying to ascertain why water pressure was low.. That is when he came across the decomposing body..
Read on if you want to be horrified..
Not only did patrons complain of low water pressure at Cecil, but according to those interviewed by CNN, the water also 'had a funny taste.' One person said she and her husband used it for eight straight days.. According to another account from a patron of Cecil Hotel, water from the shower would turn black at first use and then evolve to 'normal' .. According to the CNN piece, the hotel has not closed at this point, it's open for business but they are advising patrons not to drink the water..
Whether there are health risks posed to the persons who partook in drinking and showering in water filled with bacteria and germs from decomposing water..? Well. We didn't get that answer yet from officials, either law enforcement or heatlth.. But.. common sense would advise........ THERE IS.
