Officials: Cryotherapy spa where worker found dead not licensed

LAS VEGAS -- Authorities say a Las Vegas spa where an employee was found dead inside a liquid nitrogen chamber used for cryotherapy treatments wasn't licensed to operate.

The Clark County coroner's office said Tuesday that further investigation is underway to determine the cause of death of 24-year-old Chelsea Patricia Ake-Salvacion. She was found on Oct. 20 at the Rejuvenice facility, where she reportedly had been working alone.

Cryotherapy involves the use of low temperatures to relieve pain.

According to CBS affiliate KLAS, an order from the state's Department of Business and Industry was posted on the front door Tuesday. The notice reportedly read that Rejuvenice failed to secure or maintain mandatory workers' compensation coverage and was ordered to close immediately.

The Nevada State Board of Cosmetology also ordered the site to shut down Monday because the business didn't have a license to perform skin and other aesthetician services that were advertised.

Clark County said the owners, who couldn't immediately be reached for comment, had applied for a business license in July but it had not yet been approved.

Police said the death doesn't appear to be suspicious.
