2025年7月，涉案好萊塢名流之子、37歲的撒母耳·哈斯克爾（Samuel Haskell）在洛杉磯雙塔監獄（Twin Towers Correctional Facility）自殺身亡，此前他因涉嫌謀殺妻子李梅及岳父母王豔香、李高山而被捕，引起媒體和公眾高度關注。10月21日，洛杉磯縣法醫辦公室公佈屍檢結果，確認哈斯克爾死於用剃刀割腕造成的大量失血，排除他殺的可能性。

據屍檢報告顯示，哈斯克爾於7月12日在牢房中被發現失去意識。當時獄警注意到其牢房窗戶被布遮蓋，立即通知醫護人員趕到現場，但搶救無效，當場宣告死亡。報告指出，他雙臂肘部以下有多處深切傷，切斷了雙側貴要靜脈（basilic veins），導致大量失血。其衣物口袋內發現一張字條，但內容未對外透露。檢測結果顯示，哈斯克爾體內沒有酒精或藥物殘留。

據當局透露，哈斯克爾在獄中被評定為“中度風險自殘者”，需定期接受監控。此前在出庭時，他曾穿著防自殺拘留衣以防意外。洛杉磯縣檢察長南森·霍克曼（Nathan Hochman）在聲明中表示，哈斯克爾原本應在本周出庭面對其涉嫌的罪行，但選擇以自殺方式逃避法律制裁。

哈斯克爾的案件始於2023年，他因涉嫌謀殺妻子李梅及其父母王豔香、李高山而被捕。同年11月，警方在洛杉磯恩西諾地區的垃圾桶中發現疑似李梅的部分遺體，但其岳父母的遺體至今仍未找到。檢方指控稱，哈斯克爾在殺害家人後試圖掩蓋犯罪行為，並向工人支付報酬處理裝有屍塊的垃圾袋。案發後，他與妻子育有的三名年幼子女被安置在親屬的照顧下。

哈斯克爾的辯護律師在7月發表聲明稱，委託人的自殺“並非懦弱或瘋狂的舉動”，而是在“精神崩潰中試圖為這場悲劇劃上句點”。整個案件震驚社會，也引發輿論對家庭暴力、心理健康以及監獄自殺防控措施的關注和討論。

In July 2025, Samuel Haskell, a 37-year-old son of a Hollywood producer, died by suicide at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. Haskell had been arrested in 2023 for allegedly murdering his wife, Mei Li, and her parents, Yanxiang Wang and Gaoshan Li, drawing intense media and public scrutiny. On October 21, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office released an autopsy report confirming that Haskell died from massive blood loss caused by slashing his wrists with a razor, ruling out homicide.

According to the report, Haskell was found unconscious in his jail cell on July 12, 2025. Guards noticed that the cell window had been covered with a cloth and immediately summoned medical personnel. Despite emergency efforts, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The autopsy revealed multiple deep cuts on both forearms below the elbows, severing the basilic veins and resulting in fatal blood loss. A note was found in his clothing pocket, though its contents were not disclosed. Toxicology tests showed no alcohol or drugs in his system.

Authorities stated that Haskell had been classified as a “moderate-risk self-harm inmate” and required regular monitoring. During previous court appearances, he had worn a suicide prevention smock. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated that Haskell was scheduled to appear in court to face the charges but chose to end his life rather than face legal consequences.

Haskell’s case originated in 2023 when he was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife and her parents. In November of that year, police discovered what appeared to be parts of Mei Li’s remains in a trash bin in the Encino area of Los Angeles, while the bodies of her parents remain missing. Prosecutors allege that Haskell attempted to cover up the crime, including paying workers to dispose of trash bags containing body parts. Following the incident, the couple’s three young children were placed under the care of relatives.

Haskell’s defense attorney issued a statement in July, emphasizing that his client’s suicide “was not an act of cowardice or insanity,” but rather an attempt to bring closure to a personal and psychological breakdown. The case has shocked the public and sparked discussions on domestic violence, mental health, and suicide prevention measures in correctional facilities, highlighting the complex intersections of criminal behavior, family tragedy, and institutional responsibility.
