Spa Where Manager Died in Cryochamber Wasn't Licensed

A Las Vegas spa where an employee was found frozen and dead inside a liquid nitrogen chamber used for cryotherapy treatments wasn't licensed by the city, county or state to perform cosmetic or other procedures, authorities said Tuesday, The Associated Press reported. 

The disclosures followed the death of 24-year-old Chelsea Patricia Ake-Salvacion, who was found Oct. 20 in a chamber used to provide the increasingly popular but largely unregulated treatments for pain and other conditions.

Las Vegas police said the death doesn't appear to be suspicious and the case was closed without a criminal investigation.
