It is a weariness that keeps me at a standstill.

Wow this I can relate to this blog a lot. If only she was alive today maybe we could have talked about some stuff. RIP

I agree. I'm experiencing this again for the fifth time. And knowing that she was once alive makes me feel 10x worse.

Judging by these blog posts, I believe she took her own life. She didn't take her meds that night thus had a psychotic episode. Her behaviour in the elevator looked like she was in a cognitive dissonance of whether or not she should take her own life. And sadly she did because she perceived death as a better choice than a lonely life not doing well enough in school and had no one to talk to during her depression spells.

This story has way too many inconsistencies and unexplained happenings to be a suicide. There is no way! If you loom at the fact that the water tank was on a secured and alarmed ceiling alone..that's enough to warrant incredible suspicion. I pray for justice for her.

I cry and pray for this young woman's soul. I wish I had known this person so I may have been able to speak to her about these things. I've been suicidal before, and I even attempted suicide once.I know the pressures of school and what psychological faults can do to a person. But I can only imagine how another person must have felt confronting all of these things on their own. With no one to talk to and seeming to have given up on life all together. I don't know whether she took her own life or not, but I'll weep for her.

But it was easy to get to the roof via the fire escape, as shown by the Chinese investigators. And the lid for the cistern was not heavy at all, approximately 20 lbs, plus it was hinged, making it easy to open it. The maintenance worker testified he found it open. If she was murdered I imagine the killer(s) would close the lid.

One thing I was wrong about- that particular cistern had a fully removable lid, one or two of the others had hinged lids. And as I said, the maintenance worker who found her testified that he found it open ie. completely removed. If someone had killed her they would almost definitely close the lid.

There's no way this was a suicide. People go to a hotels for as a form of accommodation. Even if I wanted to commit suicide think of going to a water tank. Can be affordable but unimaginable.

This isn't what I've heard. I've seen footage of high tanks and statements that the lid was on. Needing a ladder to climb. I've seen footage where they had to cut a square hole in the side of the tank to remove her body ..

Hi everyone. I do not know what she's going through but; if you experience this stuff please ask for help from family or professionals. You don't want to stop your life before its begun. She can't have kids, get married, get an awesome job, become wealthy or anything everyone wants. She could've been able to, if she was alive. I can't imagine going through that. It must be awful..... I just want to say to you Elisa lam,

You are loved and remembered by all. Xxx from - TheGirlThatCares.

I don't think it's possible for her to suicide in that way. the hotel declared w/o key, no way to enter or alarm would be heard and outside fire escape stair didn't high enough to the roof(especially in her situation I don't think she can). if police can tell more details such as when did she went to 14th floor, which floor her last room is, with or w/o toilet, that could explain why she pressed those buttons. certainly the hotel employees may forget locked the door if the escape door both not auto locked but they can't admit or they are responsible. if it is/were the case then people live there could tell. And where they put the stair to climb water tank? she lost her cell phone, w/o flash light I don't think she can do it. she didn't plan to suicide or the police/employees can prove she more than once went to 14th floor, and still bought a gift for her family. if only she could tell more about how she found her cell phone lost, could some one stole from her room or she lost while went out such as to buy a gift? who she called during the trip? I don't think we could know more. the less informations we get the less pressure for police dept. especially those "invisible".

One of the most mysterious cases in recent history, the more you look into it the more connections you find.

I feel funny to say this. I know you'll never read or even reply.

Really really sorry to say this.

Everytime I feel sad or depressed, I always open this blog.

I feel better reading your words. I feel like I'm not the most unlucky person anymore. I'm not feeling worthless.

Sorry. And thank you
