The son of a Hollywood executive who dismembered his wife and her parents has died by suicide in his jail cell days before he was due to appear again in court.
Samuel Bond Haskell IV, 37, died on Saturday while awaiting trial on three counts of murder following the horrifying discovery of his wife Mei’s torso in a dumpster near his office in November 2023.
Lt. Michael Modica of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Haskell’s death to KABC on Monday ahead of a scheduled court hearing.
He is the son of Emmy winning producer and Hollywood agent Sam Haskell, who has represented high profile clients from Dolly Parton to Whoopi Goldberg and George Clooney.
District Attorney Nathan Hochman slammed Haskell’s suicide on Monday, describing it as ‘one last cruel act by someone who did the most horrific things for reasons we will never entirely know.
