She was staying at a hotel in a sketchy part of LA for unknown reasons, having travelled there by herself from Canada. Drugs are easy to get where she was but, also, she may have been easy to drug by predators in the area.

In any case she, or somebody else, got her onto a locked roof that only hotel employees should have access to, and also got her body into a vat of water that supposedly needs a ladder to reach. She had been in regular touch with her family back home throughout her journey, then nobody saw or heard from her for two weeks+ before her reappearance as a corpse in a highly unlikely place for one to end up.
