body was discovered more than 24 hours after she vanished from the party
in a ninth-floor hotel room. .

desperate search which came to a tragic end as staff searched the hotel.

she apparently let herself into the freezer while she was inebriated.

entered the freezer on her own. She said: “Those were double steel
doors, she didn’t just pop them open.”
