THE FAMILY OF A 19-YEAR-OLD WHO DIED IN A CHICAGO-AREA HOTEL’S WALK-IN FREEZER
SETTLES LAWSUIT FOR $10 MILLION

CNN  — 

The family of Kenneka Jenkins, a 19-year-old woman who died in an Illinois
hotel’s walk-in freezer more than six years ago, has settled a lawsuit against
the hotel for $10 million.

The young woman’s body was found in the freezer in September 2017 after she
attended a party at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel. After reviewing
hours of surveillance video and interviewing party attendees, authorities said
at the time her death was accidental and there was no reason to suspect foul
play.

A copy of the settlement order filed Tuesday in the Circuit Court of Cook County
states Jenkins’ mother, Tereasa Martin, will receive approximately $3.7 million,
while other parts of the settlement will go toward the payment of attorney fees,
funeral costs and other expenses.

Two other family members will also receive a combined $2.7 million of the
settlement fund.

A medical examiner in 2017 ruled Jenkins’ death was accidental, caused by
hypothermia and “cold exposure in a walk-in freezer” as well as “ethanol and
topiramate intoxication.”

Topiramate is prescribed for a range of conditions, but is most commonly used to
treat epilepsy and migraines. Jenkins’ family said she had not been prescribed
the drug, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. She also had
blood alcohol levels higher than the legal driving limit.

Authorities released surveillance video in 2017 that showed Jenkins staggering
through the hotel’s hallways before she disappeared. She is seen exiting an
elevator after 3 a.m., alone and visibly impaired. Minutes later, she is seen
entering a kitchen, CNN has previously reported.

The footage does not show her entering the cooler and freezer, where she was
found nearly 24 hours later, because no cameras show the doors directly.

In addition to the hotel’s owners, Jenkins’ estate named the hotel’s security
contractor and the restaurant that managed the space where Jenkins was found
dead, alleging they did not do enough to find the young woman after she
disappeared.

None of the defendants admitted to wrongdoing as part of the settlement, which
the court filing said was the result of three separate mediations.

CNN reached out to attorneys for the plaintiffs and defendants for comment on
Thursday but did not receive an immediate response.
