Two former guests of a Southern California hotel where a 21-year-old woman’s corpse was found floating in a rooftop water tank have sued.
A lawsuit was filed in February in Los Angeles Superior Court against the proprietors of Los Angeles’ Cecil Hotel by Steven and Gloria Cott, deeming it a “class action,” specifies it could apply to “all persons similarly situated,” anyone staying at the hotel between Feb. 1 and Feb. 19.
Elisa Lam’s decomposing body was in one of the hotel’s cisterns while the Cotts and other guests drank water, bathed and brushed their teeth for as long as 19 days.
