The strange and mysterious death of Elisa Lam at the former Cecil Hotel in 2013 went from a local missing person case to a worldwide spectacle in a matter of days. When bizarre CCTV footage of some of Elisa’s movements in the hostel’s elevator went viral, internet sleuths quickly started forming increasingly outlandish theories as to what could have happened to her. But is the truth behind her tragic passing much easier to explain than the online posts would have you believe? In Part 2 of Episode 100, Chyaz explores the facts of this unusual case, addresses and debunks some of the most viral theories and highlights some of the exceptionally weird coincidences linked with the story.
