JONAH SHACKNAI'S SON DIES DAYS AFTER HANGING

IN HAPPIER TIMES

DAYS after his girlfriend Rebecca Nalepa's nude body was found hanging from a balcony at his huge mansion, multimillionaire Jonah Shacknai's faces more tragedy. Now, his young son Max  has died. 
A bizarre few days which cops have called 'very suspicious' started when the six-year-old, known as Maxie, to family and friends, fell down the luxury San Diego property's grand staircase on Friday.
Nalepa, 32, who had been in a relationship with Shacknai for two years, was reportedly supposed to be looking after him at the time. 
That very night a party was held at the 27 room, home and the following morning her body was found, hung with orange electrical cord, her hands and feet gagged.  
Her body was discovered by Shacknai's brother, Adam, who then cut her down before calling the cops.  
Sheriff's investigators have not established any connection between the two deaths, and have not determined if Ms Nalepa was a crime victim and have made no arrests. 
They said they have not ruled out suicide Sheriff's Captain Tim Curran has called the death "very bizarre."
He added: "It appears to be some type of a violent death, and I'm not going to compromise the integrity of the investigation by giving anything more than that at this time."

In joint a statement with ex-wife Dina Romano, the boy's mother, Mr Shacknai said: "With great sadness, Dina and I convey the tragic passing of our beloved son, Max (affectionately known as Maxie).
"Despite heroic efforts on the part of paramedics and hospital staff, he was unable to recover from the injuries suffered early last week. His loving, kind and vibrant spirit will be forever in our hearts and those whom he touched every day."

COPS: REBECCA NALEPA MET 'VIOLENT END' AT MANSION

HER beautiful naked body was found hanging, her hands and feet bound with orange electrical cord after a high society party at her pharmaceutical millionaire boyfriend's mansion. 
Rebecca Nalepa, 32, met what officers described as a 'very violent and very suspicious end' at Jonah Shacknai's historic $17 million home in Coronado, CO. 
The 54-year-old's brother Adam made the gruesome discovery.  He told cops he found the 32-year-old divorcee's body hanging by her neck from a second floor balcony, with her hands and feet
bound by orange electrical cord, the day after a swanky party at the 27-room luxury home.

Stranger still, just the day before Shacknai's six-year-old son had fallen down the stairs when Nalepa was reportedly looking after him.  
He is still recovering in hospital, after emergency crews administered CPR and rushed him there.
Tim Curran, with the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, described the circumstances as 'very suspicious', telling NBC San Diego that it appeared the victim had died a 'violent' death.

He said: "This is a very bizarre death, there is no doubt about it, no question about it. Until we can absolutely establish one manner or another, we're not ready to call this a criminal matter or a suicide."
