The gravestone for Ken'neka Jenkins goes viral for it's upgrade after her family won a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit
Ken'neka attended a party in a room at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare (Rosemont) on the night of September 8 2017, and was found dead in a walk-in freezer the next day. The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled the death accidental hypothermia from cold exposure. https://www.cnn.com/2017/10/06/us/chicago-freezer-death
Surveilance video showed her walking into the kitchen and freezer alone and no one entered before or after she was in. The freezer did not lock and had a working interior release/latch so it could be opened from inside. https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/16/us/chicago-freezer-death
The room was booked with a fraudulent credit card tied to identity theft. Police said the people who reserved it were affiliated with a West Side Chicago gang.

The family sued for $50 million, alleging the hotel was negligent for leaving the kitchen/freezer area accessible. The case settled in 2023 for $10 million and the family upgraded the gravestone after receiving the funds
