What Happened to Elisa Lam at the Cecil Hotel? Here Are 4 Main Theories

The Cecil Hotel has been a hotspot of death, marked by a history of overdoses, murders, and suicides. Some speculate that dark spirits (including that of Richard Ramirez, who was alive at the time of Lam's death) kept the elevator open and had her climb into the water tank. Others connected how Lam pressed the buttons with a Korean elevator game. According to this outlandish theory, Lam died because she opened up a portal to another dimension.
