s**********t 发帖数: 1846 | 1 Two former guests are suing the Los Angeles hotel where the body of missing
Canadian tourist Elisa Lam was found dead in a rooftop water tank.
The class-action lawsuit was filed in a L.A. Superior Court by Steven and
Gloria Cott on Tuesday, according to CNN on Friday.
The Cotts paid $150 for a two-night stay on Feb. 12, according to the San
Francisco Chronicle. At the time, they were reportedly told by staff the
water was safe to drink.
The couple alleges that the hotel was obligated to provide safe water but
instead gave them "water that had been contaminated by human remains and was
not fit for human ingestion or to use to wash," according to the lawsuit.
Public health officials tested the water and found there were no harmful
bacteria, likely due to chlorine in the city's water system.
Lam, 21, of Vancouver, was found dead on Feb. 19 by a Cecil Hotel worker
checking on water pressure complaints.
Lam was last seen alive in the Cecil Hotel’s lobby three weeks earlier. The
L.A. Police Department released a troubling video of the University of
British Columbia student behaving oddly in the hotel’s elevator. |
