British Couple’s Horrifying Stay At The Cecil Hotel | Crime Scene: The Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel 

The fact that they seem totally fine with the fact that they drank water containing a decayed body. Would've literally given me PTSD if I found out that.

If you saw that the water was brown WHY would you use it? I would’ve requested a refund and left immediately

Why would ANYONE drink water that was ANYTHING but clear?!?

I still can’t believe they willingly used that nasty water.

I feel bad for the man that found her body :( it must’ve been so shocking and scary for him

They DRANK, SHOWERED & USED that water for everything??? WTF??

I don’t trust any hotel/apartment/villa that’s too cheap.

Poor couple. I feel the horrifying pain from the man who found her. That man must have nightmares. He was so tearful. So sad for that young girl who died. My heart goes out to her family.

- Why was she on the 14th floor? - Where’s the footage of her going up to 14th floor? - Why was the ladder and roof door not checked for fingerprints to determine which she used? - Why didn’t they go in depth about the girls she was staying with, outlining she had odd behaviour so much so, that she had to move rooms?

I would need some serious therapy if I drank or showered in that water

For anyone watching please don’t drink the tap water in hotels in the US.

So they thought they were drinking coffee?

I can’t believe they literally drank her decaying body ewwwwwwwww

Waters brown. Lets drink it.🤦‍♂️👏.geez

I wonder if any buildings around the Cecil Hotel had cameras on the roof top, that would help to see something around that time. Also, they should of checked the basement in the hotel.

I stayed there in February when her body was found. Water was OK in my room on 14th floor. The hotel was actually pretty good for the price of 56 USD per night with breakfast on the mezzanine level of the hotel. Hotel included even complimentary gym on the ground floor. On the day of checking out the LA fire fighters blocked one of the lifts and the investigation was in full swing. I have only found out what was all about about a month later when back in Europe. Its true, it was easy to access the rooftop through the fire escape iron stairs on the hotel front facade. The stair access from the inside was locked down and under the alarm system. But again, the hotel was far away from "horrendous" and in 2013 the problem with homeless people in the vicinity was not even near to the state of the problem LA faces nowadays through out the entire city.

This janitor was paid off after Elisa was found he left shortly to Mexico. He knows more then what he's telling us...

Imagine after seeing the missing flyer: That missing girl was staying at our hotel! ... Reality: That missing girl is now literally inside of us.

I never drink the water when I'm away in another country. I cant believe they actually DRANK it!

Why why why would you drink brown water?!!🤮

I just wanna know why Elisa Lam's family let her travel ALONE knowing she had severe bipolar issue. That's wildly crazy!

all those RU-vid conspiracy theory thinkers MUST apologize for falsely accusing mordid as a murder. mordid is because of your bullying he wanted to get out of life. You trolls should be ashamed of ruining the life of an innocent man.

This is the most disturbing part of the story

I hope they blow up Morbids DM’s with apologies just like they sent him all those hate msgs. These wannabe FBI jumping to conclusion and ruining lives.

I think they meant they where drinking it before they noticed the discoloration

I live 10 mins away from the Cecil. Always drove past it never knew this happened there. I’ve heard about the Elisa Lam case but I wasn’t living in LA at the time. Now I get this creepy vibe when I drive by seeing the tanks on the roof…. terrible tragic story.

I feel bad for these people, like genuinely it’s awful what happened but why in the name of Christ would you drink that water. When I went to Cuba the water was clear as day and I still was told not to drink it.

I would never drink that nasty water. Morbid needs an apologize from all those people saying he killed Elisa and I think he should get some type of money for all the stuff he went through, plus all social media sites should apologize. But I am still not believing it an accident drowning, because Elisa's belongings were taken out of her hotel room before police and that showed up. I guess most people didn't catch that about her belongings being removed.

Why’s that hotel still open tf I remember hearing about it I thought it would have closed down after what had happened

I can never drink tap water for reasons like this. 🤢

I was there a week or two before too, such a creepy place; and some suspect characters locally. For reference I left the hotel Cecil on the 8th-10th, and the water was discoloured even then and that was weeks before her disappearance.

Dear everyone on the show...why did no one mention the fact her phone went missing...days prior to her death in the tank on the rooftop. Her phone is the key to solving this case.

When i stayed there the water wasn't brown, I drank bottled water anyway My room was okay no bed bugs no roaches. When I went to LA I stayed there but I used the stairs never the elevator. I was on the second or third floor.

They probably publicly admitted to drink that putrid water for some compensation.

"We didnt expect to see homeless people in downtown LA" "the water was brown,so we showered in it and drank it" Future Darwin Award winners!! ;-)

The building should be demolished.

A little bit of a backstory: The Cecil hotel was opened back in December 20, 1924 its primary purpose was to be a really budget hotel for people to use back then. The Cecil then had troubles with its name because it was used for killings, murders, sucicides, and more. The Cecil also had serial killers, murders, and so much more inside. Two of the most known for staying at the Cecil hotel was Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) and Jack Unterweger. The Cecil hotel was known for so many bad crimes and notorious killings that in 2011, the hotel was renamed the Stay On Main. The hotel was divided within 2 hotels in 1 building so the Cecil hotel would be near the top floors (IDK the exact floors) and the Stay on Main would be near the bottom. This would help divide the 2 diffrent looks at the hotel and would help keep the nice look! The hotel was also known for a girl named Elisa Lam which traveled to the Cecil Hotel alone and she had Bipolar issues. The video shows how the water was brown and the pressure was low, the reason behind that was because Elisa somehow got up to the water tank and was inside that is why the maintenance guy said "That is when I found her". I hope that this kinda helped you find out a little more about the Cecil / Stay on Main. Please like this comment and even if this did not help you please still like this took me a long time to type! Thanks :)! IF MY INFORMATION WAS INCORRECT PLEASE LET ME KNOW BY REPLYING TO THIS COMMENT AND I WILL TRY MY BEST TO CORRECT IT THANKS! TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CECIL HOTEL / STAY ON MAIN WATCH THE DOCUMENTARY ON NETFLIX CALLED: Crime Scene: Vanishing At The Cecil Hotel (It is on Netflix) This is part of the documentary! (The video) THANK YOU FOR READING ~~

I feel bad for the maintenance guy who found her. Must be traumatizing.

WHY DIDNT THEY JUST LEAVE???? ALSO WHY CONTINUE TO DRINK FUNKY WATER WTHHHHHH

This documentary doesn't mention that her phone was stolen few days before she died. Doesn't interview her hotel room mates either which could shed more light on things. Doesn't entertain a possibility that the 19 day decomposition could erase any signs of trauma (and thats why coroner had hard time determining anything). Doesn't talk much about the editing of the elevator footage and timestamps (even if this was done by the police/media - they should give some details at the very least). Doesnt explain why the police with dogs couldnt find her on the roof despite looking there. It paints us, the people who just want to help as conspiracy theorists, cyber bullies, insensitive and what not... why lump everyone together like this? Instead they interview some youtubers, metal singer and some previous tenants or something, who had nothing to do with her case. I'm grateful that something is being done at all but to me this wasn't very well made, sorry.

Too gruesome. They should demolish the building.

Alot of people would assume the water color could be due to old pipes. I'd assume the same thing, these people aren't stupid. Last thing you would think is someone died in the bloody water tank.

I know I wondered why anyone would digest the water after seeing it brown but watching this i think it really brings out the fact there is not enough mental help in America

The water tanks are so obvious!! lapd was high on skid row stuff

Can you imagine, finding out days later that you’ve basically some of somebody?

I resided at Stay on Main for a whole year. They lure FIDM students and say it’s ‘student housing’ The thing I remember was floors 4-6 was completely renovated as a boutique hotel. The secret that Cecil hotel was hiding was that they were housing some creepy ass people on the upper levels above ‘Stay on Main’ (floors 4-6) The showers are communal and everyone shares it down the hall. I would’ve never imagine this “HOSTEL” to become such a commotion as it has, in the following years to come.

The fact there’s probably 1 perosn in this world that knows what happened to her and is still going round kind of scares me ngl 😳

The water was brown, the water smelled, the water tasted funny. And we thought we can still drink this water and use it to brush our teeth. WHY??? Why why why???

I feel terrible for this couple and everyone else victim of these horrific circumstances. That water discoloration weeks before Elisa's disappearance could have been from other decayed bodies in the water tanks 💔😩🤷🏻‍♀️

It don't make sense how they said they drink the water when the guy clearly said the water was brown before they drink it??????

The hotel is behind this, I swear. Why would you store a person’s belongings into a storage room just because they’re not in their rooms? That’s invading people’s privacy. It makes sense if the hotel staff were behind this because they wouldn’t want the police knowing or tracing anything suspicious. And anyways, how come you would put someone on a floor with no cameras? The lady has been working at the hotel for 10 years, 80 deaths during then, and she still has the guts to put a young adult at risks? Should be ashamed of herself. And also, in the Netflix documentary, she said something about calling her mum first before the police. Like, what’s the reason for that? Also, everyone has been talking about the elevator video cutting out and stuff, so thats another reason. ALSO, if Elisa does have some medical conditions/ health or something, a manager or at least someone should always be accompanying her in case. I feel so bad for the cleaner who had to be the first to see a dead corpse floating in the tanks. May god bless him and to Elisa

2:08 their faces are like “If we hadn’t complain in that moment, they would never found out where Elisa really was”

Did she lose her phone on the rooftop? Kids were hanging out up there, exceptional views. Why else was she up on the top floor? Her room was on the 5th. Did residents / hotel staff lock her out on the rooftop?

When the helicopter was flying in the sky, and they asked them to light the ceiling, how did they not see from the top the water tank cover open, and inside it Elisa, the dogs, how did they not smell the corpse? Since the cover was open, and a large number of policemen on the roof, how did none of them search the water tanks ? There are questions in my head for these questions !! A strange thing happened, only God knows ☹💔

Dude.... this creeped me out. The thought made me nauseous. Not to be disrespectful in any way...because it’s so sad..But it would be horrifying to realize that you had been drinking the water a dead body had been in.

Who the f drinks tap water anyway? 😭 but they still used the water💀

They didn’t bring water bottles 😃 like wtf

The youtube “investigators” were just embarrassing themselves

They showered in that water, brushed their teeth with that water and drank it! 🤢 Why would you drink stinky, discolored water? Why??????

The Cecil Hotel should be demolished. It's a tainted building. So much death, violence, and tragedy. It's not worth risking your life to even step foot in that malevolent building. Stop chasing thrill-seeking paranormal experiences at the expense of the deceased. It's such a macabre and disrespectful thing to do.

They were the cringiest part of the first episode

They drank decomposing body water 🤦

That former maintenance testimony was so chill. Wonder if he knew what he would of found on that tank.

I have bi polar depression 1 and I take my medication everyday if I so happen to miss. I don't have hallucinations and wonder off or act like that. This girl was murdered. Due to being bi polar I have many manic episodes mostly in the afternoon or when I go to work. My medication absolutely helps. I didn't use to take them before now in my 30's I found out that I've had this issue for a long time untreated. I've never acted like this. Not saying everyone's the same. I believe it's the hotel.

Not going to lie my dad wouldn't don't care about the state of the hotel he would still make us stay There if the hotel was cheap It really makes me realize how cheap my dad was

Dark brown/dark water yeah im out son

Wow the therapy one would NEED

Yo but who drinks out of the bathroom sink at a hotel though??

Tastes funny. Discolored. Stinks like ass. Oh it's fine glug glug glug💦💀

After watching the documentary on Netflix, my question is WHY haven't they released the Full video footage in the elevator if they are going with her not taking her meds ? Why did they Even Mess with it ?

This movie is creepy on a whole new level!

if people don’t know which y’all probably do but I’m just saying. when the maintenance man said “that’s when I saw her” at the end of the video, is Elisa Lam. You can look it up on Google. when the British couple said the water was brown, it was her.. from the water tanks. The water had a funny taste in it it was, you know, her.. I’ll just try to say that in a comfortable way. her body was found in the water tanks. That’s basically what happened. I feel absolutely awful for this man that had to see that. I would honestly cry, as a person with hemophobia I could not witness that for a second of my life. may Elisa rest in peace, and god bless this man :)

Why would you drink brown water? Why? What does water look like in the UK that makes a person comfortable enough to drink brown water.

"She's doing weird hand signs!" Me: schizophrenia

Why would u drink the water if it were discolored??? Bottled water is very inexpensive!!😳😳😂😂😂

I wonder if they drank the water that had elisa's body would that be considered canableisim ? Rip Elisa lam

How did the water had discoloration when the body was totally fine. Like how did the water colour changed when it's not mixed with anything in the first place? Can anyone please answer my question!

Why would they drink nasty water and what was the girl thinking

They know something was going on and choose to irgone it!!

“We noticed there was a smell of weed in the room” and it just Ends there 😂

I once ate a piece of bread that was brown. It was fine.

For ANYONE from Europe, don’t drink TAP water in America, we don’t do that here.

The documentary never mentioned what these two experienced on the day of her discovery. Very interesting

If yall don't believe in ghost better start believing that hotel is crazy haunted

If they knew the water was discoloured why would they drink it They can just go down to a shop and buy some water bottles I would of got my ass out of there immediately

My family stayed at this hotel in 2009 right after Michael Jackson died. It was booked by our cousin who didn’t know better. It had a gorgeous lobby but when you get to the room floors… Good god 💀. Having shared bathrooms and toilets did not make the stay any more comfortable. Even my kids thought it was haunted 😂. We were so glad when we checked out early the next day.

She was alone and weak and the evil spirit in the hotel( serial killer) especially tormented the weak in the hotel.Her room is the place where the spirit dwelled . She was followed,she tried to run but it followed her even in the elevator. She ran out and climbed to the fire escape outside ,the spirit forced her towards the wall and over to the tank and pulled her inside water until she drowned and died.

The water was too obvious,This really creeped me out

Poor, poor Elisa...😔😔

I couldn't stay only one minute there,out of disgust,out of fear and all in all.Thats a horrible experience

This is sooo stupid!!! Yes, mental health is a serious issue. When some one is going through a manic stage there mind's are hallucinations and can make people feel there hearing things and even seeing things. And do things that can put them in the middle of a freeway and strip naked to be free. This whole series was interesting at first until all of the conspiracy 🤦‍♂️

How poor are they? they still use the water despite its tinted, unbelievable

Just finished watching this documentary, and there were two victims. The first tragically killed herself...the second was the victim of frenzied, lunatic keyboard warriors, who thought they had all the facts. Shame on them all

this is why i only use water bottles when i’m at hotels if they’re even slightly sus. even to brush my teeth

*You bunch of know-it-all,* you should all take a step back and watch out for what kind of comments you write. Of course, it can come off as weird when someone drinks dirty water and takes a shower in it. Completely understandable. But you'd better think first and then judge. You know why the water was so polluted. This couple didn't. As for the second point, you cannot expect everything that is shown on TV or Netflix to always be true. Just because you see dark water in the footage doesn't mean it was just as dark and dirty in reality. I know them both, and I've even done a lot of music with Michael Baugh where he was involved as a guitarist. So I know them a little better than you do. You make the same mistake you made last time. You really like to talk down and bully other people (talking about their horror-trip that open) over social media, you can't know it better ...

Are they idiots to use that water??? They themselves tells that the water tasted funny......🙄🙄🙄

I still don’t get if the water tank lid was open or closed! When the police dogs went to the roof the first time I am sure they said a police officer went up the tank and didn’t see any opened lid though! Sure he would have notice it. What you guys think? The whole Netflix end episode is pretty sketchy

Why would they still drink the water and take a shower in it if they knew it was coming out a different color and tasted weird?, wtf 🤦🏽‍♀️

Just finished watching it and honestly, something's off. (spoiler warning**) First of all that 4 episodes should have been shortened to atleast a two hour documentary. Second, I don't trust their interviewees. They all looked and sounded suspicious as f. There's something wrong with their gestures, facial expression and tone of voice, it's feels like they're all hiding something and protecting the hotel. I'm still not convinced with their conspiracy theory. Third (spoiler): do you really believe that she "accidentally" drowned herself and "undress" herself (fully naked) while drowning inside the tank? Wtf, who does that?! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sabina IS MY PIANO TEACHER 😦
