Slain Wife Of Hollywood Exec's Son May Have Been Alive During Decapitation: Autopsy

New, disturbing details in the killing of Mei Li Haskell are coming to light.

The 37-year-old womans dismembered remains were found last November in Los Angeles, leading police to charge her husband, Sam Haskell , with murder in not only her killing, but the deaths of her missing parents.

A coroner is now suggesting that Mei Li Haskell might still have been alive while she was decapitated, according to an autopsy report obtained by multiple media outlets this week.

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, read the report from the Los Angeles County medical examiner.

The autopsy noted that a sharp powered tool was likely used in the amputations from the body.

Mei Li Haskell and her parents Yanxiang Wang and Gaoshan Li were last seen on or around Nov. 6.

On Nov. 7, Sam Haskell  whose father was once the head of television at the William Morris Agency, representing clients like Dolly Parton and George Clooney  reportedly tasked day laborers with the disposal of garbage bags, only for them to find body parts inside and call the police.

The husband was also allegedly seen on security footage putting something in a dumpster, where Mei Li Haskells torso would later be found.

An investigation led police to Sam Haskells home in the Tarzana neighborhood. He was arrested and held on $2 million bail. Earlier this year, he pleaded not guilty  to three counts of murder.

The bodies of Mei Li Haskells parents have yet to be recovered.

A representative for Sam Haskell did not immediately reply to HuffPosts request for comment.

This weeks autopsy report concluded that Mei Li Haskell likely died from blunt force or sharp force trauma, asphyxia or a gunshot. The coroner also said that poisoning couldnt be ruled out.

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, the report said.
