What's fucked up is that if she didn't kill herself, maybe she thought it would be fun to take a dip. Then the edge was to high to reach and she treaded water and backfloated for as long as possible, then drowned.

I was about to SlogTip this. Agonizing over whether it was your beat or Cienna's.

There is video of her right before she died and she looks like somebody who is frightened for her life.

Of course, unless your drinking/bathing water is extracted from moon dust and rocketed back to earth, it has marinated at the very least a few dead ducks and dead fish and the shit thereof on the way to your taps.

That fact wouldn't have made me feel better either.

Worked in hotels for several years in college...I've never paid full price for my hotel room since and always get some free stuff. There's always a "problem" with my stay....always.

@5: I wouldn't necessarily say "scared for her life", but the YouTube video is definitely of someone who is acting scared. The way she looks out of the elevator and jumps back in and pushes herself into a corner. The way she rings her hands. Scared. Of what? Who knows. My original thought had been bad drug trip &/or psych hallucinations. Now we may never know.

I disagree. She acts weird and erratic, but strangely calm. A one point she does a weird dance. Drugs?

@5
Come on, just google it.

If LA's Cecil Hotel is anything like Vancouver's or Calgary's Cecil, I'm leaning toward foul play. The weekly rates sign in the CNN pictures does not boost my confidence.

Love you, Dan, but c'mon -- if she had been gay, I hardly think you would have found something to laugh at no matter how bizarre the circumstances. Or you might have thrown in a disclaimer that she was a fucking human being. It's hard enough on her community and family without the whole thing becoming a joke.

It may be impossible to pass a camel through the eye of a needle but you can pass a hoser through a hose.

Hey, that was the plot in Dark Water! Which I can totally recommend, by the way. (The original, haven't seen the remake.)

Law & Order is so good at ripping things straight from the headlines that they're doing it before the actual event.

Or was it CSI:NY had an episode with a body in a rooftop water tank?

@2: Season 2, Episode 16 (2005/6) of the latter.

She didn't looks scared to me, she looked like she was tripping.

She hit all the buttons in the elevator for some reason. WTH?

So sad. And gross.

I'm thinking Jimson weed, popular with teens in the Southwest. It makes you delirious and hot.

She was looking for the pool, but she kept ending up on the roof. She found a big cistern of water up there and crawled in to cool off. Sad.
Drugs are bad, kids, mmmkay.
