The Mysterious Death of Rebecca Zahau
Rebecca Zahau, aged 32, was found dead and hanging from a balcony at roughly 6:45 AM on the morning of July 13th, 2011. She was nude, with her wrists and ankles bound. This occurred just two days after the death of her boyfriend’s son, Max.
Zahau was found gagged with a blue long sleeve T-shirt, it was wrapped around her head with the sleeves double knotted and stuffed into her mouth. Medics attempted to revive her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
A black message had been painted on the door of the room leading to the balcony where police found her body. It read, “She saved him, can he save her.”
The police initiated forensic and toxicology testing on her body as part of an autopsy to determine the cause of death. On September 2nd, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department ruled her death a suicide.
Many people, including Zahau’s family, do not believe she committed suicide. They question how she could have hung herself when her wrists and ankles were bound, and why four instances of head trauma were discovered during her autopsy.
In 2013 her family filed a $10 million dollar wrongful death lawsuit, claiming that Zahau’s boyfriend’s brother Adam Shacknai was the killer. The lawsuit alleges that Shacknai beat Zahau unconscious, stripped off her clothes, bound her hands and feet, gagged her and hanged her from the balcony. The case is still ongoing, and as of now (August 2017), remains unsolved.
Makes no fukking sense that this was ruled suicide...
