Lindsay Lohan swam in a Los Angeles pool in unchanged water just a week after someone died there.

The 'Mean Girls' actress and her girlfriend Samantha Ronson were partying at Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel when they cavorted in the pool last weekend, but were not made aware of the death which had occurred a week earlier.

On October 13, staff found 30-year-old Jordan Nagler dead at the bottom of the Tropicana Bar pool.

Ed Winter, assistant chief of investigations for the Los Angeles County coroner's office, said: "He was found at the bottom of the pool wearing swimming trunks. The staff at the hotel found him, but we don't know who actually removed him from the pool."

However, staff reportedly decided there was no need to drain the pool following the incident.

A source at the hotel told the New York Post newspaper: "Management had a meeting, where they told staffers the pool didn't need to be drained because there was enough chlorine in it to kill the bacteria.

"Following the tragedy, the hotel held a meeting with employees of the Roosevelt, Teddy's, the club inside the hotel, and Tropicana Bar. Staffers were instructed not to say anything to anyone."

Stephen Brandman, chief operating officer of Thompson Hotels, which owns the Roosevelt, denied the reports, adding: "Somebody did die, but we don't think anything awkward or bizarre occurred. He had a heart attack."
