If the chlorine was sufficient to kill the bacteria from the dead girl, wouldn't it smell like chlorine -- not dead girl? [/quote] ...."An autopsy was completed Thursday, [b]but cororner's officials did not release details[/b]." :ops: [/quote] the MAJORITY of the employees from this hotel live in or very close to downtown los angeles. they used that water in all the food prep, hand washing, laundry, dish washing... so it's not like you actually had to take a shower there to get an infection. these employees could be spreading disease thru their apartment buildings, busses, trains, taxis, children, schools,supermarkets.... omg this could be horrible. [/quote] Holy shit! [/quote] yup this too! [/quote]

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com)
— The feds are descending on downtown Los Angeles to combat what they say might be a dangerous outbreak of a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis.
Jeff Nguyen, reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, went downtown in search of people who may have been exposed.
John Williams started living at the Weingart shelter on LA’s Skid Row two weeks ago. Before he could be admitted he had to undergo a screening for tuberculosis.
