## The death of Elisa Lam

The body of Elisa Lam (藍可兒), a Canadian student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, was recovered from a water tank atop the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles on February 19, 2013. She had been reported missing at the beginning of February. Maintenance workers at the hotel discovered the body when investigating guest complaints of problems with the water supply.

The hotel camera recorded a footage of Elisa acting very strangely in the hotel lift before she went missing, hiding and then pressing all the buttons before peering out strangely, supposedly she was playing the Elevator Ritual. Elisa also seemed to be gesturing to someone or something, outside the doors. This person however cannot be seen.
