Grisly new autopsy details emerge in case of DISMEMBERED mom Mei Li Haskell whose torso was found in an LA dumpster, as coroner is unable to determine if she was actually dead when limbs were removed

Shocking new details from an autopsy report showed California mom Mei Li Haskell could have been shot in the head, suffocated and suffered blunt force trauma before her dismembered body was thrown in a dumpster.

LA County Department of Medical Examiner officials detailed the violent and gruesome ways the 37-year old mother-of-three suffered before her headless and armless torso was found wrapped in a plastic garbage bag on Nov. 8, 2023 near her home in Tarzana, Calif.

'The bone margins at the amputation sites were remarkably smooth,' according to the report obtained by DailyMail.com. 'This suggests a sharp power tool was likely used to perform these amputations.'

Officials wrote Mei Li was dismembered with a 'single sharp force' at the base of her neck, and half of her thighs were still intact and connected to the torso.  

'There was no definitive indication that the dismemberment occurred antemortem, however, the possibility that the head and neck removal was initiated prior to death cannot be entirely excluded.'

The 37-year old mother's remains was wrapped in a plastic bag and found by a transient who was digging through a dumpster not too far from where the Haskells lived 

The bag with Mei Li's headless torso was found stuffed into a duffel bag and tossed into this dumpster behind Ventura Boulevard and Rubio Avenue, near a family-style restaurant, a hair salon and two banks

While toxicology reports showed there were no evidence of drugs in the remains tested, officials with the LA County Department of Medical Examiner said they also cannot rule out whether or not the 37-year old mom was poisoned with an unidentified substance.

The forensic pathologists ruled the death a homicide and the likely cause as blunt force trauma to the head/neck, possible gunshot wound(s) to the head/neck or a sharp force injury. 

They also said Mei Li could have been suffocated.

'Given the circumstance of the case, which includes the deliberate concealment of the body by dismemberment and disposal, the cause of death is homicidal violence,' medical examiners wrote in the report.

Mei Li's husband, Samuel Haskell IV, was charged with her murder as well as the deaths of her parents, mom Yanxiang Wang, 64, and dad Gaoshan Li, 72.

LA Police Department sources told the DailyMail.com that the parents' remains still have not been found.

Samuel Haskell- the son of a Hollywood super-agent who has represented stars like George Clooney, Dolly Parton and Whoopi Goldberg - remains in a Downtown LA jail on a 'no bail' hold.

The heavily tattooed Haskell, who was on the jail's suicide watch, appeared shirtless during a December 8 hearing after Velcro straps on a special gown he was wearing came undone. 

Prosecutors allege Haskell hired four day laborers a day after the murders and paid them $500 to remove black trash bags from his home.

Power-agent Samuel Haskell III, the father of the defendant, touts himself as 'the nice guy in Hollywood' on his website, but multiple former Miss America contestants came forward in an A&E docuseries accusing him of 'playing God' while cultivating a toxic culture of hatred towards women in the organization

Mei Li Haskell dabbled in modeling, but coached foreign students with their college applications to top-tier universities in America. Her friends said she was a 'devoted mom' to her three young sons. 

One worker said Haskell told them the bags were filled with rocks before later saying the body parts were 'Halloween props,' according to local NBC4 News.

'When we picked up the bags, we could tell they weren't rocks,' the worker said, noting that the bags were 'soft and soggy.’

The man added he and his co-workers looked inside the bags and saw 'body parts, a belly button.’ The men said they then returned the bags and the money to Haskell's home.

They quickly went to report what they found to the LA Police Department, but were initially turned away, according to the LA Times.

Neighbors said Sam Haskell was 'odd' and had a fascination with swords

Haskell then allegedly loaded the plastic bags into his white Tesla and drove to a dumpster in Encino, where he was caught on camera disposing of the remains. 

Haskell is scheduled to appear in court on March 26 for a pretrial conference hearing. 

Mei Li, who sometimes modeled, had her own business called Haskell Consulting Group, according to records obtained by DailyMail.com.

Through her small business, the mom coached and helped foreign students with their college applications to Ivy League and other top universities in the U.S.

Her husband, who has gone by the stage name of 'Samuel Basshinger' since at least 2013, had worked as an editor for stars such as rappers Tyga and Machine Gun Kelly as recently as three years ago, per his X account, formerly known as Twitter.

Neighbors said Samuel was 'odd' and had a fasciation with martial arts and samurai swords.  

The couple's three young children are staying with family, but their Tarzana home remains untouched, a friend of Mei Li's told DailyMail.com.
