Authorities announced that the Canadian tourist found floating dead in a water tank remains a mystery; the results of her autopsy have come back 'inconclusive.'

The Los Angeles County Coroner's office said there was no signs of trauma on Eliza Lam's body. Medical examiners must now wait for toxicology tests to determine whether she was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of her death on February 1.

The health department has ruled the water in the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles as safe, despite Lam's body decomposing in a cistern that is connected to water taps throughout the building. But guests are fleeing the hotel in droves.

This isn't the first grisly find at the Cecil - a hotel with a dark history that was home to two known serial killers.
