The family of a 19-year-old woman who suffered “immeasurable conscious pain” as her body shut down and she froze to death in a hotel walk-in freezer outside of Chicago after a night of partying will receive more than $6 million in a wrongful death settlement.

The agreement was made on Tuesday in the lawsuit involving the death of Kenneka Jenkins. Her mother, Tereasa Martin, filed a $50 million lawsuit in 2018. It named the hotel owner and operator, CPO Hospitality LLC, its security staff, and the restaurant responsible for managing the kitchen.
