California motel closes after two women found dead in same room days apart

A California motel has been closed after authorities found two women dead in the same room just days apart. The Eureka police department said that on February 21, officers and Humboldt Bay fire personnel were dispatched to a motel on Broadway Street in Eureka - identified as the Lamplighter Inn - after receiving a report of ‘two unconscious patients due to a possible drug overdose’. When they arrived at the scene, they found elevated carbon monoxide levels in the room. The following day, police received another call about an unconscious person who was also found dead with similar signs of poisoning. An investigation is ongoing but it’s unclear whether the deaths are related.

I never knew this was happening in California too… it’s like we’re repeating history all over again. In NYC, I’ve seen how gentrification can displace marginalized communities and lead to these kind of tragedies. It sounds like the same issue is occurring here - ‘affordable housing’ being replaced by luxury condos or hotels. What are people supposed to do? At the end of the day, it’s all about profit over people… sigh. |
