Samuel Bond Haskell IV, a 37-year-old heir to a Hollywood agent's legacy, has died by suspected suicide in his cell, days before a preliminary hearing in connection with the brutal murders and dismemberment of his wife and in-laws.
Haskell was charged in November 2023 with the killings of his wife, Mei Li Haskell, 37, her mother Yanxiang Wang, 64, and stepfather Gaoshan Li, 72, at their home in the Tarzana neighbourhood of Los Angeles.
