TWO tourists who complained about low water pressure discovered there was gruesome reason for the problem there was a dead body in the water tank of their hotel.
British tourist Michael Baugh and his wife said water had only dribbled out of the taps at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles for days.
It turned out that the body of a Canadian woman had been discovered at the bottom of one of four cisterns on the hotel roof.
"The moment we found out, we felt a bit sick to the stomach, quite literally, especially having drank the water," Mr Baugh (27) said.
Los Angeles County Department of Public Health officials issued a do-not-drink order while its lab analyses the water, said director Terrance Powell.
contamination
Mr Powell said the water was also used for cooking in the hotel; a coffee shop in the hotel would remain closed and has been instructed to sanitise its food equipment before reopening.
"Our biggest concern is fecal contamination because of the body in the water," Powell said.
He said the likelihood of contamination is "minimal" given the large amount of water the body was found in.
The remains of Elisa Lam (21) were found by a maintenance worker at the 600-room hotel.
Police detectives were working to determine if her death was the result of foul play or an accident.
this is some crazy shyt...............
