CORONADO — The attorney for the family of Rebecca Zahau has submitted a detailed request to the state Attorney General’s Office asking for an independent investigation into her hanging death at her boyfriend’s Coronado mansion last summer.

Seattle-based attorney Anne Bremner said the Sheriff’s Department and District Attorney’s Office have turned down similar requests she submitted, paving the way for the official request to the attorney general.
Zahau’s family continues to suspect foul play in her death.
Zahau, 32, was found hanging nude and bound at her wrists and ankles at the historic Spreckels mansion on July 13. The vacation home was owned by boyfriend Jonah Shacknai, CEO of Arizona-based Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp.
Sheriff’s investigators ruled the death a suicide, saying she was apparently distraught over the grave injuries suffered by Shacknai’s 6-year-old son, Max, who had fallen over a second-story railing while she was babysitting. He died days after Zahau.
