Sickening: Hotel guests drank water from tank with rotting body

2/21/2013

Imagine the horror of discovering you'd showered in, brushed your teeth with and drank the water from a tank where missing student Elisa Lam's body was decomposing. That's the nightmare guests at the Cecil Hotel are living with after finding out what caused the "funny taste" in their water. "The moment we found out, we felt a bit sick to the stomach, quite literally, especially having drank the water — we're not well mentally," said a British tourist. His wife added they thought American water simply had a different flavor. It’s not just guests who won't be sleeping well: The same tank supplies water to the Los Angeles hotel's coffee shop and restaurant, where they've been serving tainted refreshments for days.
