What Happened to Elisa Lam??!

 What is the story of Elisa Lam?


The world was shocked about this case for a few months because of the mysterious death of Elisa Lam but it was more shocking when the reason for death came out!

Elisa Lam was 21 years old when she got disappeared, she was from Vancouver and studied at the University of British Columbia, she planted a trip to LA as a getaway trip from her studies and she was on her own, her family were worried about her and concerned because she was going alone but Eisa made sure that she will contact them every day to make sure that she is safe, so it was weird when Elisa wasn't calling them or answering them for a check-up.

She arrived in LA on January 26, 2013, and checked in the Cecil Hotel as her parents didn't hear about her since January, 31 as this was the day that she would checkout from the hotel, eventually her family connected the police department as they searched for her in all parts of the Cecil hotel but couldn't find her.

The police after watching the cameras they were sure that she was still in the hotel as the cameras captured her going into the hotel but never going out of it as its the day when she went missing, they also check the cameras inside the elevator which things took turns, she was behaving in a very weird way, check out this video:


This video shows how weird was her actions on the day she was disappeared, the whole video there was no one except Lisa itself, when this video got released people go crazy and made theories about why was she behaving like that as they released this video in hopes people will actually help the police to find out what happened because this was the only evidence in their hands.

After a few weeks, especially on February 19th, the guests in the Cecil hotel were having problems with the water system, the water came smelly and kinda dark so the maintenance guy went to check the water tanks as the man discovered that there is a naked body in the water tank which was Elisa Lam


According to a statement by the chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department, the tank in which Lam’s body was found had to be drained completely and then cut open from the side to remove her five-foot-four frame.

They didn't know how she was naked but they found the clothes of her next to the tank as well as the clothes that were beside the tank was matching the camera footage day, as the hotel stated that she was always seen alone in the hotel as the water tank was very heavy to open, as this was stated as a murder crime But at least one person did see Lam soon before her death. At a nearby shop, eerily named The Last Bookstore, owner Katie Orphan was among the last to see Elisa Lam alive. Orphan remembered the college student buying books and music for her family back in Vancouver.

The autopsy results came out and showed that she took multiple drugs and she was toxicated but likely it was for her bipolar disorder but it was confirmed that there isn't any illegal substance or alcohol in her system.

Until now there aren't any updates about the killer of Elisa Lam as this case is still mysterious and people read about it every day!

5 Inventions that were done by Women!

 What's Happening?  Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip. The handle was designed in a way to be reached even in extreme positions. The hook at the free end of the syringe prevented hands from slipping." As her syringe had a lot of benefits because it was cheap and can easily be used and done by only using one hand, as it's easy to use by any person, she died at the age of

Pool time? My first flashback is my first memory but it's a horrible memory though, it's a very dark and horrible time to me, so to begin with it was my first time getting stitches and was on my chin, what happened was I was copying what my friend was doing in the pool as she was jumping in the pool from behind which turning her back to the pool and jumping backward, so i was a little young girl who was five at the time, but what happened was when I copied her I didn't get far enough when jumped to the pool so my chin hit the edge and injured myself, so I really remember my point of view of people getting me out of the pool and rushing me to the doctor, which was h
