 Multiple people were taken to the hospital today after getting sick from an unidentified substance at the Palace Hotel near Cass Lake. The Leech Lake Tribal Police Department tells Lakeland News that five people were taken to the hospital, but all are expected to make a full recovery. The hotel was shut down today as hazmat units were on the scene since just before four o'clock this afternoon. A chemical assessment team responded from the Grand Rapids Fire Department and completed their assessment at 6.30 p.m. The hotel was then declared safe for use and guests began returning to their rooms at that time. The Palace Casino remained open during the incident and was not affected. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
