'Fearful, restless' because of sleeping in a hotel room with a corpse

The man, surnamed Zhang, told a local newspaper that he smelled a "strong" odor when he checked into a hotel in Lhasa, capital of China's Tibet Autonomous Region, on April 21, according to BBC on May 2.

After Mr. Zhang moved to another room, a body was discovered under the bed where he had slept. That evening, police told Mr. Zhang that they had arrested a person in connection with the case. Mr. Zhang later told Shangyou News that he left Lhasa the next day.

The hotel where Mr. Truong stayed is called Guzang Shuhua Inn, which is quite famous on social media thanks to its ideal location for taking photos.

Mr. Truong posted a review of his stay online, but the post did not attract much attention until another user shared a screenshot of the review on social media on April 28. The hotel responded to the post, but completely denied the incident.

Mr. Zhang then shared his experience on Weibo, attaching a receipt as proof of his stay at the Guzang Shuhua Inn. This attracted the attention of local media, who quickly contacted Mr. Zhang for an interview.

"I was so scared that I couldn't sleep," Zhang told Shangyou News in an interview on April 30. Zhang added that after checking in, he rested for a few hours, even sleeping in bed, before going out at around 3:30 p.m. local time.

When he returned a few hours later to change for dinner, Mr. Truong noticed the smell again, but assumed it might be coming from the bakery downstairs, or from the heating system in the room. He even worried that his feet might smell. But when he returned to his room after dinner, the smell was still too unbearable, so he asked to be moved to another room, which was granted.

Late at night, hotel staff knocked on Mr. Truong’s door and asked him to go down to his old room. Police were waiting there to take his statement and collect his DNA sample. Mr. Truong said the police told him not to worry because they had arrested a person to investigate the case.

Police did not reveal any further details about the case, but released a video of the suspect being arrested on a train to the city of Lanzhou. Mr. Zhang said he was forced to go public with his experience because the hotel not only denied it but also accused him on social media of making it up.

Since then, Mr Truong's posts describing what happened have attracted thousands of comments and tens of thousands of reactions, according to the BBC.
