Rebecca Zahau wrongful death lawsuit will go to trial
http://www.cbs8.com/story/31451134/rebecca-zahau-wrongful-death-lawsuit-will-go-to-trialSAN DIEGO (CNS) - A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Rebecca Zahau, who was found naked and hanging from a second-story balcony of a Coronado mansion on July 13, 2011, can proceed to trial, a San Diego Superior Court judge ruled Friday.
Two days earlier, Max Shacknai, the 6-year-old son of Zahau's millionaire boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai, fell over a second-floor railing while Zahau was watching him. The boy lingered for three days before dying.
After a lengthy investigation, authorities ruled Zahau's death a suicide.
Keith Greer, the attorney for the Zahau family, alleges in the wrongful death suit that Jonah Shacknai's brother, Adam Shacknai, and Jonah's ex-wife Dina Shacknai and her sister Nina Romano were behind the 32-year-old woman's death.
