San Jose police say authorities are investigating a women's death Saturday at the Fairmont Hotel as a suicide.
reports Saturday that guests of the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose reported smelling a chemical odor — similar to a rotten egg —and feeling faint, light-headed and short of breath.
San Jose police Officer Gina Tepoorten says authorities are investigating the death as a suicide. Tepoorten said in an email the hazmat incident is related to the woman’s suicide. San Jose Fire Department Capt. Mitch Matlow says the eight people sickened are believed to be hotel employees. Several other people had minor symptoms but “have gotten better with fresh air.”Exposure to the unknown chemical was believed to be “very brief.”
“Safety is our top priority and top concern,” Fairmont Hotel spokesperson Michelle Heston said in a statement to KTVU. The hotel’s general manager did not immediately return a request for comment. The TV station reports the woman who died is believed to be a hotel guest.
