Suit filed over corpse in rooftop cistern

Two former guests have filed suit against the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, where the body of a 21-year-old woman was found in mid-February in a rooftop water tank.

Steve and Gloria Cott filed suit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Elisa Lam's decomposing body floated inside a water tank for as long as 19 days while guests used water from it to brushed their teeth, bathe and drink.

The hotel did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

      Hi, fernace.
      Little mister is a known...whatever; he is the one who steals our names on a regular basis, also. Cnn, being aware of his hijinks, deletes him regularly.

    I think I am going to sue the hotel just for being on CNN. I'm sick and tired of these stories.
