What started out as a description of a ‘violent death’ has, one week later, become a full court press from the Coronado California and San Diego County Sheriff Department cops as a ‘possible suicide’ in the bizarre death of 32-yr-old Rebecca Zahau. The suspicious death ‘unrelated’ to the ‘accidental’ death of 6-yr-old Max Shacknai, son of 54-year-old Arizona pharmaceuticals tycoon Jonah Shacknai.

The motivation is so they can’t change their minds and free themselves.
“Some of the psychologists will tell you once that decision is made, there is an urge of self-preservation, and this is one way to preclude oneself from stopping an attempt to end their life,” Coronado Police Chief Louis Scanlon said.
One possible suicide theory is that Zahau might have hung the noose from the balcony, binding her hands and feet before stepping off a table. A table was one of the items taken from the mansion as evidence.

My sister was not depressed, my sister was not frantic, my sister was planning to call my parents the next day and was planning to keep me posted about Max the next day.”...read more
