- 9 years ago
HENDERSON, NEVADA — A 24-year cryochamber salon manager froze to death inside one of the store's cryochamber last week in a tragic accident
Hawaiian native Chelsea Ake died after she somehow got stuck inside a cryochamber at the Henderson, Nevada branch of Rejuvenice after the store had closed for the night, although the exact circumstances of what lead to her death are still a mystery.
Investigators said that Ake was alone after closing up the store for the night and then got into the machine, but for some reason did not turn it off.
The recommended time inside a cryochamber, which is used to treat ailments including sore muscles and inflammation, is around three minutes.
But somehow Ake ended up spending around 10 hours inside the machine, where the temperature can reach as low as -240 degrees Fahrenheit.
One of her colleagues discovered her body inside the machine the next day.
A police report into the tragic incident said that Ake probably suffocated, and blamed 'operator error' as the cause of death.
