    A SPA manager has been found frozen to death inside a liquid nitrogen chamber used for cryotherapy treatments at an unlicensed facility.

    A co-worker discovered 24-year-old Chelsea Patricia Ake-Salvacion’s body at Rejuvenice Cryotherapy in Las Vegas on October 20.

    “When they found her, she was rock solid frozen,” Ake-Salvacion’s uncle, Albert Ake, said.

    Las Vegas police said the death did not appear to be suspicious and the case was closed without a criminal investigation.

    Mr Ake said his niece texted her boyfriend on the night of her death, saying she was going to take a treatment herself after the store closed. She was also seen on security video locking the salon. The co-worker who found her body noticed Ake-Salvacion’s car in the parking lot and her belongings in the business.

    The Clark County coroner said Ake-Salvacion’s cause of death will be determined when the results of toxicology tests are finalised in the coming weeks.

    Nevada Occupational Safety and Health investigators determined that Ake-Salvacion shouldn’t have been sitting in the cryotherapy chamber after-hours for personal use, spokeswoman Teri Williams said.

    “The facts indicate that the fatality occurred as a result of employee misconduct or non-complaint activity,” Ms Williams said. “The employer cannot be cited ... and further investigation is not warranted.”

    Cryotherapy involves placing users inside a chamber with subzero temperatures for a short time to relieve pain. Athletes who have long used ice baths to ease their aches have turned to whole body cryotherapy as a quicker way to recover after exercise or competition.

    The treatment also is promoted as aiding weight loss, improving healing and increasing blood circulation, leading some salons to offer cryotherapy facials as an anti-ageing remedy.

    I remember reading somewhere that freezing to death is the most torturous way to kill one's self.
    This poor girl. How the fuck did she lock herself in there?!

    Chelsea Patricia Ake-Salvacion, 24, died accidentally from the asphyxia caused by low oxygen levels, the Clark County coroner's office said.

    The coroner's office said she died in an "oxygen-poor environment."
    Normal air is about 21 per cent oxygen, but the coroner said cryotherapy chambers can bring down that level to less than 5 per cent during treatments.
    "Breathing air with this low level of oxygen can quickly result in unconsciousness and then death," the coroner's office said.http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/woman-wh...oner-1.2652496

    I probably would have thought that too until I was diagnosed with a lung disease... When my O2 sats hit 80, it is almost all I can do not to panic - which only exacerbates things - thank goodness for Ativan & oxygen.

    I can not imagine this poor girl's terror... Freezing cold and oxygen-deprived and knowing no one would likely be able to save her. I almost have an anxiety attack just thinking about it.

    RIP Chelsea

    Yeah, not being able to breath is the worst. I'd much rather freeze to death.

    I've tried just for curiosity, several asphixiation methods. I've only heard about freezing to death. But from what I've experienced being hanged, choked, bagged and strangled, and what I've heard about freezing. bagging/suffocating is the least painful/anxiety of the bunch, you simply pass out and go to sleep. If done right, before your auto response kicks in it's also the quickest depending on factors of the other methods. Freezing however, while probably not as painful as strangling or hanging, it's not without discomfort and it takes a long time. You don't simply go to sleep. That only happens just right before.
    And this is just based on my experiance and what I've read on the subject, I'm not an expert by any means...

    Yeah, after reading that I sat here looking at the screen trying to figure out how to respond and I got nothing. I just can't even.

    It's too simple. I wanted something creative, but it just wouldn't come to me.

    Sometimes, with all that we see here, I believe that MDS must be an elaborate, sociological experiment.

    Thanks!

    What I don't get is, in all pictures the head is above the top, so she wasn't able to climb out? Or did the lack of oxygen happen too fast for her to realize she was in trouble? I would think she would start having trouble breathing and try to do whatever possible to climb out...

    In the video, he said she failed to set the chamber at the right height to keep her head above the nitrogen gas so she suffocated due to lack of oxygen. They said her death would have been instantaneous so she never had a chance to save herself. Obviously she shouldn't have done this alone but wasn't she the manager and experienced with the machine? I wonder why the settings were so off? Poor girl!
