random: it's not the hotels fault
hotel: pays 10 million


now we see why the lawyers made 3M ..... the average person knows shyt about legalities and liabilities and some would have even tried to convince them it was no compensation to be had based on a random cliche like "well see nothing good happens after midnight"

I remember when I started dating this woman in Chicago a couple of years ago, she told me this story because the hotel was somewhere along the way back to her house from O’Hara.

To read it again brings sadness

It takes all but 2 mins to call these 1-800 lawyers to find out if you have a case.

Also crazy that the guy who was helping the family only for him to scam them is now the right hand man for the scamming ass Dolton mayor.

"We want people to understand that winds are dangerous currents on the Great Lakes," said Dave Benjamin, co-founder of the Great Lakes Surf Rescue Project.
"These are going to be very strong offshore winds, so anything that floats can go far and fast offshore with people on these objects as well," he added.

Who was Zahrie Walls?​

Walls described herself as a “Celebrity Stylist” in her Instagram bio. She also wrote that she was a salon owner and a private investor. According to a Facebook post claiming she had died in the boat tragedy, she wasKenneka Jenkins’ friend. “DAMN! RIP to this beauty!! She lost her life today, she fell off that yachtand drowned in Chicago. she was the bestfriend of kenneka Jenkins.... PRAYERS to her family,” the post reads.
Jenkins was a 19-year-old woman from Chicago, Illinois, who wasfound dead inside a latched freezer of the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, in 2017, after attending a party there the previous day. The medical examiner said that her death was accidental, and that alcohol and topiramate found in her system may have hastened the effects of hypothermia sustained by her remaining inside the freezer.
Walls mentioned Jenkins in a 2020 Facebook post, writing, “girl I miss u soooo much. u broke my heart forever. I can’t make this up I can’t believe forever really ain’t forever. we did it allll we so ghetto for these memories bro I can’t believe Us. no more wild nights. me fuc**** yaw hair up nothing. Eternity sisters”.
Walls’ final Instagram stories were shared just a few hours ago, one of them appearing to show her in a video on a yacht/boat.

I could still hear your voice asking me not to fry any chicken in the shop because you were going out and didn’t want to smell like chicken. My prayers go out to your family. May heaven receive you with open arms.”
Another Facebook user, Denae MsDiva Elle, wrote, “You never know what moment will be your last prayers going out to Zahrie Walls family and close friends you finally get to reunite with your bestie Kenneka I guess she saved A spot for you queen. rest in love Gods favorite”.
