How is the "Lan case" going?

According to American Chinese media reports, the coroner of Lan's murder concluded that Lan's death was the victim's bipolar disorder. Lan's parents still accused cecil hotel of "manslaughter", but the defense lawyer filed a motion to dismiss the case according to the autopsy report.

After the autopsy, the coroner concluded that Lan's death was not caused by illegal acts, but an accident, which was caused by the deceased's bipolar disorder. Lan's parents still accuse cecil hotel of "causing death through negligence", believing that the defendant has the responsibility to take safety precautions for the hotel and regularly check whether there are hidden dangers harmful to the guests in the hotel facilities, such as the untimely locking of the water tank cover, which leads to Lan's accidental fall from the building.

Lopez, a maintenance worker in cecil hotel, testified in court that after receiving a guest's complaint that the water pressure was too low, he took the elevator to the15th floor, climbed the stairs leading to the roof, disarmed the alarm on the roof, climbed the water tank platform and climbed to the top of the water tank from another ladder. "At this time, I found that the lid of a water tank was opened. I looked in and saw an Asian girl lying face up on the water 0/2 inch away from the hatch cover/kloc. "

"The alarm on the roof looks intact, but I didn't hear the alarm until a week before Lan Kerr died. During my work in the hotel, except for the murder of Lan, I don't remember anyone going to the water tank on the roof without permission, including hotel guests. "

Pedro Tovar, the director of Lopez, said in his testimony that there are three stairs on the 14 floor leading to the fire escape door on the roof. If the alarm system is not turned off, any escape door will sound an alarm when it is opened, which will be heard on floors 14 and 15, and of course, the waiter at the front desk on the first floor will also hear it.

"If you want to climb the water tank, people need to climb the platform of the water tank through a ladder, and then squeeze between the water tanks to avoid the auxiliary equipment of the water tanks before climbing another ladder leading to the top of the water tank. Each water tank is equipped with a heavy water tank cover." Like Lopez, Tova, who has worked in the hotel for 30 years, has never heard of anyone being injured by climbing the water tank.
