*Delete. An unfortunate death but not notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Fails WP:NotNews and WP:CRIME. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 04:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even a cursory google-news search shows this is a notable event. This had wide international coverage at the time of the event in 2017. Lots and lots of coverage in 2018 in the context of a 50 million dollar lawsuit - [1], [2], [3] (and listed as a verdict to watch in 2019 - here). The mystery/death here was horrible enough to generate WP:SIGCOV and the on-going legal case has generated even more coverage - clearly passing GNG. Icewhiz (talk) 08:30, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 08:46, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Straddles the border between WP:NOTNEWS and an incident that is not WP:MILL. Case received international attention over one year after the event. Interesting questions remain about how a person went missing in such a modern hotel, how and why she entered the freezer and what her friends knew or didn't know about the incident.

Keep per WP:SIGCOV in Chicago Tribune, Newsweek etc. WP:NTEMP the subject was notable and remains notable. Lightburst (talk) 17:06, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:18, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Per WP:HEY, added 2 more sources from the Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post. StonyBrook (talk) 05:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
