Haskell's Murder Case Unresolved as He Dies in Jail

0:00Samuel Bond Haskell IV, a 37-year-old charged with murdering his wife and her parents, died in jail over the weekend in what looks. Like suicide, just days before his big court hearing. He was busted back in November 2023 for killing 37-year-old May Haskell, her 64-year-old mom, Yang Shang-Wang, and 72-year-old Stepdad, Gaoshan Lee. Cops found him Saturday at 4.20 a.m. in his cell at Twin Towers jail downtown, with self-inflicted wounds, sources say. Now the LA County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau is digging into his death, waiting on the medical examiner's call. It's the 26th jail death this year alone. After a brutal start with 20 in the first 20 weeks of 2025, way up from last year. County Supervisor Janis Hahn is sounding the alarm, calling the jails a crisis with neglect from guards and medical staff fueling these tragedies. They need urgent fixes to stop the body count. Meanwhile, Haskell's case was rock solid, per the DA, with blood everywhere in the house,
