Sam Haskell IV, the Hollywood scion accused of chopping up his wife and in-laws before tossing a disembodied torso into a dumpster, has died in a Los Angeles jail while awaiting trial, according to authorities.Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed in a statement that prosecutors had damning new evidence against him that was going to be made public at an upcoming preliminary hearing including that he was having an affair with a 27-year-old woman and had been arrested with a bloodsoaked knife containing the DNA of all three victims.Corrections officers found the 37-year-old dead in his cell Saturday, days before the hearing, where prosecutors were expected to outline the case against him. He previously pleaded not guilty.LAWYER FOR HOLLYWOOD HEADLESS TORSO SUSPECT SAYS HIS CLIENT IS BEING FORCED TO SHOW UP SHIRTLESS IN COURT"Instead of standing before a judge and answering for the crimes hes been charged with, the defendant managed to escape justice," Hochman said in a statement. "This is one last cruel act by someone who did the most horrific things for reasons we will never entirely know. A family that has been dealing with unimaginable loss now has been robbed of their chance to face him, hold him accountable for his barbaric actions, and openly share their grief and their cherished memories of their loved ones."Haskell's attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. He previously told Fox News Digital that the court's assertion his client was at risk of self-harm was "wild speculation" and condemned a judge's decision that forced him to appear shirtless or wear a protective vest at prior hearings.HOLLYWOOD HEIR SAM HASKELL'S TIKTOK RANTS EMERGE AS SUSPECT IN HEADLESS TORSO CASE HEADS TO COURTHaskell, who opted to face the court without a shirt, was facing three counts of murder for the Nov. 6, 2023 slayings of his wife Mei Haskell, 37, her mother Yanxiang Wang, 64, and her stepfather Gaoshan Li, 71, as well as additional special circumstance allegations. He would have faced life in prison without parole if convicted."He was obviously an unhinged individual," said Joshua Ritter, a former Los Angeles deputy district attorney and a Fox News contributor. "The crime itself speaks to his mental unrest. Its not so uncommon that we see people commit murders based on financial or marital difficulties, but the idea of going as far as killing your in-laws and chopping their body parts up is very extreme."HOLLYWOOD HEADLESS TORSO SUSPECT SAM HASKELL PARANOID WEEKS BEFORE BODY FOUND IN DUMPSTER, FRIEND SAYSHochman's office released a summary of the evidence prosecutors planned to unseal at the hearing.After killing and dismembering all three victims, he allegedly paid $500 to a group of day laborers he asked to remove a series of heavy black trash bags from the home, where they all lived together, according to prosecutors. After picking up the bags, one of the workers looked inside and saw human remains. The day laborers gave the money and the bags back to Haskell and called police.Investigators previously said that by the time officers arrived at his house, Haskell and the bags were gone. Fox News Digital also reported that surveillance cameras at a gym in Encino showed him placing a heavy bag in the dumpster outside. A homeless man looking through the trash made the gruesome discovery and called 911.Police found his wife's car, which had her stepfather's blood inside, Hochman's office revealed Monday. They tracked Haskell to an Airbnb nearby, which investigators allege he had rented for himself and the children he shared with Mei Haskell after the murders.When police arrested Haskell, he was carrying a pocket knife and a Home Depot receipt from a few days earlier listing plywood, a moisture barrier, coveralls and diamond saw blades, Hochman's office said Monday.In his rented SUV, he had a loaded .357 revolver, 32 rounds, a blood-covered knife, the family's passports and a one-way ticket to Japan, according to authorities. They separately seized $67,000 cash during a search on his office.DNA testing on the knife matched blood to all three victims, according to prosecutors."You do have to take into account the timing of all of this," Ritter told Fox News Digital. "Hes been in prison for some time. I imagine he had opportunities for this kind of action before now. But it does seem interesting that it would come on the eve of a date that would expose all of the horrible things that hed been up to."Police later recovered eight more bags containing bloody evidence, but not the remains of his in-laws and they said that "large amounts of blood" had been cleaned up at the family home.As for Haskell's alleged 27-year-old mistress, authorities say she told them Haskell told her in October 2023, shortly before the murders, that his parents would be taking over care for his children. Then he invited her on a trip to Japan. In addition to the one-way ticket he had, prosecutors say he bought her a round-trip ticket."Its interesting to me that, heres a guy looking at life in prison without parole, multiple murders, its as bad as its going to get," Ritter said. "Theres a strong likelihood that he will never see the outside of the prison again, but he is such a narcissist that he is more concerned with the embarrassment of perhaps his extramarital affair becoming exposed than he is with life in prison if that is what motivated this."The remains of Mei Haskell's parents have not been found.Haskell's parents, Hollywood producer Sam Haskell III and beauty queen and actress Mary Donnelly Haskell, are known for a series of Christmas movies. His father was also a former talent agent who represented George Clooney and Dolly Parton, among other A-list stars. He declined to comment.

A hidden genetic mutation could predict a mans likelihood of developing dementia.Thats according to an Australian study led by Monash and Curtin Universities, which analyzed the medical data of thousands of Australians and Americans.Men who had a certain variant in thehaemochromatosis (HFE) gene which regulates iron levels in the body were found to be at a higher risk of dementia, the researchers found.YOUR LATE-NIGHT TV BINGE COULD SABOTAGE YOUR BRAIN HEALTH, DOCTOR WARNSPreviously healthy men over age 70 who have two copies of the variant, which is known as H63D, are at least twice or up to four times as likely to develop dementia.Having just one copy did not appear to elevate the risk.One in 36 men carry two copies of the mutation; one in three have just a single copy."It is only men who have two copies of the variant that are at risk," study co-author Professor John Olynyk from the Curtin Medical School told Fox News Digital. "Women are not affected by the abnormality we do not know why that is at the current point in time."WARDING OFF ALZHEIMER'S MIGHT MEAN MAKING THESE 11 LIFESTYLE CHANGES, EXPERT SAYSThe study, which was published in the journalNeurology, used data from the ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) trial, which gathered health and aging data for 19,114 healthy older adults.Those who have the genetic variant cant change it, but its possible that the "brain pathways" it affects could be treated, Olynyk noted."The HFE gene is routinely tested for in most Western countries when assessing people for haemochromatosis, a disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron," the doctor said. "Our findings suggest that perhaps this testing could be offered to men more broadly."Despite the fact that the HFE gene is responsible for controlling iron levels, the team found no direct link between iron and dementia risk."This points to other mechanisms at play, possibly involving the increased risk of brain injury from inflammation and cell damage in the body," Olynyk added.More research is needed to determine why the heightened risk wasnt seen in women."Understanding why men with the double H63D variant are at higher risk could pave the way for more personalized approaches to prevention and treatment," added co-author Professor Paul Lacaze from Monash University in a press release.The main limitation of the study, according to Olynyk, was that the study population was largely composed of Australians."Whether other populations exhibit the same effects is unclear," he told Fox News Digital. "Our work should be repeated in different countries to assess this.""Further research will be undertaken to try and determine the likely mechanism by which this anomaly causes dementia and what more we can do to reduce the impact of it."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERBeyond this specific mutation, many other genetic and environmental factors can contribute to dementia risk, Olynyk noted."While genetic risk factors cannot be changed, the mechanisms by which these genetic abnormalities and environmental factors cause disease may well be modifiable to some extent, through adopting a healthy lifestyle and being proactive about maintaining an overall good state of health," he said.To reduce risk, the researchers recommend adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes exercising regularly, eating a nutritious diet, minimizing alcohol intake, remaining mentally active, and seeing a doctor to address any medical problem known to increase the likelihood of dementia.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthThe University of Melbourne, The Royal Children's Hospital, Murdoch Children's Research Institute and Fiona Stanley Hospital also contributed to the study.

President Trump on Monday suggested that first lady Melania Trump convinced him that Russian President Vladimir Putin has continually backed out of his promises over a possible peace deal with Ukraine.Trump was meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte when he spoke with reporters about the ongoing war.He explained that his wife pointed out Putin's false promises following Trump's phone calls with the Russian leader amid calls for a deal to end the conflict.TRUMP'S BOLD PIVOT ON UKRAINE SENDS MAJOR SIGNAL"I go home. I tell the first lady, You know, I spoke to Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation. She said, Oh, really? another city was just hit,'" he said."There's times I'd get home. I'd say, 'First lady, I had three most wonderful talk with Vladimir. I think we're finished.' And then I'll turn on the television, or she'll say to me one time, Wow, thats strange because they just bombed a nursing home,'" Trump recalled in another conversation. "I'd say, What?"Moscow has repeatedly attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles following calls between Putin and Trump.TRUMP SAYS US WILL SEND PATRIOT MISSILES TO UKRAINE, ADDS THAT PUTIN 'TALKS NICE AND THEN HE BOMBS EVERYBODY'Last week, Trump appeared frustrated, saying he wasn't happy with Putin "because he's killing alot of people."He said he was considering giving Ukraine more aid to help it resist the Russian attacks. On Monday, Trump confirmed that he has agreed to sell arms to NATO just moments after he said Putin has 50 days to secure a peace deal with Ukraine or face "100%" tariffs."This is again European nations standing up," Rutte said. "I've been in contact with many countries. I can tell you at this moment Germany, massively, but also Finland and Denmark and Sweden and Norway we have the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Canada they all want to be part of this.""And this is only the first wave. There will be more," Rutte confirmed. "So what we will do is work through the NATO systems to make sure that we know what Ukrainians need."

An Israeli scientist was allegedly subject to a hostile and discriminatory work environment involving the alleged malicious distortion of his research, a fabricated sexual harassment investigation and an alleged retaliatory firing which all threatened to jeopardize his entire career, according to a bombshell federal lawsuit filed last week.Dr. Shay Laps, an Israeli chemist who received his Ph.D. from Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, joined Stanford University with the hope of furthering his award-winning research into peptides and proteins under the mentorship of more experienced scientific minds, according to the suit. Laps was encouraged to join Stanford after multiple meetings with lab leader Dr. Danny Chou, who had expressed interest in his earlier research and promised multiple years of support in his lab.The lawsuit, which was filed in the Northern District of California by the Louis D. Brandeis Center and Cohen Williams, claimed Dr. Laps who joined Dr. Chous lab in April 2024, six months after Hamas' devastating Oct. 7 attack on Israel was allegedly greeted with outright hostility from the moment he stepped foot in the lab, with no apparent explanation.TRUMP ADMIN PROBE ACCUSES HARVARD OF DISCRIMINATING AGAINST JEWISH STUDENTS, THREATENS TO PULL ALL FUNDINGA research professional in the lab allegedly told Dr. Laps never to speak to her on his first day joining the team; the suit stated that his colleagues were aware before he joined of his Jewish identity.The researcher's campaign of hostility allegedly went so far that the lab materials Laps ordered were never delivered on time, even though his colleagues all received requested materials in a timely manner. When Dr. Laps attempted to address a particular holdup, she allegedly told him to contact another colleague who was currently hospitalized a gesture which Laps interpreted as a call for him to get lost.She also allegedly fabricated results from one of his experiments and tried to trick him into destroying the evidence, the lawsuit claimed.Laps was confused as to why the lab staffer was so overtly hostile towards him and no one else in the lab, but became suspicious that it was due to his Israeli identity when he discovered that she associated with many radical anti-Israel activists on campus.ISRAELI COLUMBIA PROFESSOR LEAVES SCHOOL OVER FAILURE TO ADDRESS ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTSStanford has been plagued with a culture of antisemitism, according to a 2024 report commissioned by the university, which exploded after Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel that launched the Gaza war. A Stanford professor allegedly made Jewish students stand in a corner and called them "colonizers" while describing Hamas terrorists as "freedom fighters" shortly after the attacks, among other incidents.Laps short-lived tenure at Stanford ultimately spiraled into a wild alleged conspiracy to get him fired by fabricating a sexual harassment investigation against him, the lawsuit states. Dr. Chou, who had initially been supportive of Dr. Laps, called Laps into his office in August 2024 and informed him that a Title IX investigation had been opened against him regarding sexual harassment.Chou urged Laps to resign quietly from the university and to leave the country to avoid potential censure, per the lawsuit. Laps, who was aghast at the accusations, contacted Stanfords Title IX office himself and was allegedly informed that no investigation had been opened against him and that he was in good standing at the university.Chou didn't respond to a request for comment."This really made my jaw drop, the way they treated the guy, just unbelievable," Brandeis Center Vice Chair Rachel Lerman told Fox News Digital.Laps filed his own discrimination complaints in September 2024, and attempted to alert University President Jonathan Levin and School of Medicine Dean Lloyd B. Minor after which he was allegedly fired and unceremoniously locked out of the lab, the lawsuit stated. Laps believe this to have been an act of retaliation. Laps ultimately ended his association with Stanford in February 2025 after less than a year.In a statement to Fox News Digital, Stanford denied any wrongdoing."Stanford takes any allegation of antisemitism very seriously.In this instance and based on all the allegations that Dr. Laps reported directly to the institution, a thorough internal investigation found that they were unsubstantiated," a Stanford University representative told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Documents subpoenaed by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs show major failures among the six U.S. Secret Service (USSS) agents who were suspended without pay in response to an assassination attempt on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024.While the USSS had previously told Fox News that the agents were disciplined in February, the paperwork shows that five of the agents were not disciplined until April, which is when Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., subpoenaed the records.USSS interviews show that the main site agent was unprepared and undertrained, and fellow agents said she had no idea what she was doing in Butler.The campaign rally marked the first time the agent had secured an outdoor rally, and agents on the ground claimed she lacked basic knowledge, according to the report.TRUMP DIRECTS SECRET SERVICE TO GIVE HIM EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION ABOUT HIS ATTEMPTED ASSASSINS: REPORTThe interviews also unveiled that several agents admitted the existence of major security concerns at the Butler rally, but none of them elevated the concerns or helped produce a plan to properly cover the roof that provided 20-year-old Thomas Crooks a clear shot of Trump.The documents show that some agents in charge never even conducted walk-throughs of the site. For example, the lead advance agent, documents show, never did a final security walk through of the rally site because she was in the hospital for heat exhaustion, the special agent in charge said when questioned.But the documents also provide a deeper dive into the six agents who were disciplined because of failures in the security detail.SECRET SERVICE SUSPENDS 6 AGENTS TASKED WITH PROTECTING TRUMP DURING JULY 2024 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTThe lead advance agent had 21 years with the USSS, with six of those years spent in the vice-presidential protective division.Despite April documents showing the agent was suspended without pay for 21 days, the agent ended up getting a 14-day suspension. According to the Secret Service, the agent was the most senior and experienced agent on the advance team, yet she failed to secure the rally site.The documents show the lead agent was aware of line-of-sight concerns, but she failed to address the issue or produce a plan to secure the building.SECRET SERVICE CHANGES THE AGENCY HAS MADE POST-TRUMP BUTLER ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTDuring her interview, the lead agent said she did not know three local snipers were inside the AGR building instead of on the rooftop where Crooks was perched when he shot Trump.The counter sniper team lead had 10 years of experience with the USSS, with two years in the uniformed divisions and eight with the counter sniper program.The counter sniper lead was suspended for 52 days without pay in April, but only had to serve 35 days. He is currently on official restricted duty status.The agent is accused of not walking the entire Butler rally site and instead using "Google and stuff" to get a look at the grounds. He also failed to talk or collaborate with local sniper teams and never picked up radios offered by local law enforcement to communicate with other teams.'ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM': CALLS FOR MORE ACTION AFTER SECRET SERVICE AGENTS SUSPENDED FOR SECURITY FAILUREThe Secret Service said with the lead snipers level of experience, he should have known how to successfully secure the grounds. The sniper also said during interviews that he received text messages about Crooks being suspicious, but failed to alert the lead site agent and security room.One of the site agents who was disciplined had five years of experience with the USSS and was originally notified in April that she would be suspended for three days. But the Secret Service changed the length of discipline to 42 days without pay, documents show.The Secret Service said the agent failed to communicate that there was an active threat on the day of the rally, to the team on the ground. The Secret Service also said the agent blamed others for the security failures, but she was the one who was ultimately responsible for all security.CRITICAL SECURITY LAPSES BY SECRET SERVICE EXPOSED IN NEW REPORT ON TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTAfter the assassination attempt, the agent spoke with a reporter and shared information about the behind the scenes of the rally, the documents show.The senior special agent site counterpart had 20 years of experience, including experience dealing with presidential details. According to the documents, the counterpart was disciplined in April for 14 days without pay, though she argued she should not be punished. Instead, the agent blamed the site agent.The senior special agent site counterpart was supposed to be responsible for securing the site and identifying threats, the documents show.COULD BUTLER HAPPEN AGAIN? FORMER SECRET SERVICE AGENTS WEIGH IN ON POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN 2025During interviews, the counterpart told the USSS that the site agent she was working with did not know "basic things," adding that it was not her job to "coach" the site agent.The Secret Service also said local police emailed the senior counterpart their plans to secure the area, but she never opened or read the plans.The special agent in charge from the Pittsburgh field office had 24 years of experience with the USSS, and just days after the rally was placed on telework status. In November, the agent was reassigned to work with the cybertraining program, and in January he was told he would be suspended for 14 days without pay.According to the documents, the agent said under questioning that he did not know there was a threat against Trump before the rally. The agent told the Secret Service that if he had known about the threat, he would have recommended moving the rally inside or would have asked for more resources.The agent also told the Secret Service that the team assigned to Trumps protective detail knew about the threats and were the ones who should have changed the plans.The sixth agent who was disciplined was the assistant to the special agent in charge from the Pittsburgh field office.The assistant had 24 years of experience with the USSS and admitted he did not prepare for the Butler rally. Documents show that without preparation, the assistant had little to no understanding of the security plan for Butler.Additionally, the assistant never met with the lead agent and never did a site walk though, nor did the agent participate in a site briefing or look at a diagram of the site.As a result, the assistant was suspended for 10 days without pay in April.

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel told CNN on Monday just how unpopular the Democratic Party has become.In an interview with anchor Dana Bash, Emanuel scolded his party, stating that it has "disappointed" its voters and been lost ever since President Donald Trumps election victory last year."Just to give you a sense of how bad we are Democratic Party is less popular than Elon Musk right now," he said. "That should be like a wake-up call how bad."2028 WATCH: HERE ARE 21 DEMOCRATS WHO MAY RUN FOR PRESIDENTEmanuel, who was the U.S. ambassador to Japan under the Biden administration and is considering running for president in 2028, began by talking about how many Americans feel as though the American dream is unattainable."You want to restore confidence in democracy? Restore confidence in the American dream. The party for our ticket out of where we are, is making the American dream and the middle class our north star," he said, pointing out where Democratic Party leaders need to focus their attention.He continued, "But were going to work like dogs in service of that dream and making it more accessible. It cant be called the American dream if only 10% of the children and young people can get access to it. It cant be. So, therefore, we got to make it the American dream, meaning everybody has a shot at it. Thats number one, and its thats a core."CHARLAMAGNE SUGGESTS BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL IS SIGN THAT MIDTERMS AND 2028 ELECTION WILL BE 'FIXED'The former mayor followed up by noting how his party is missing the mark, comparing its popularity to that of Musk, who is despised by many liberals in America for his work as a senior advisor to the Trump administration."Republican Party, stab you in the back," he continued. "The Democratic Party, we disappoint you. And I think if you look at these numbers, the Democrats are harder on the Democratic Party than others, and the reason is because they got disappointed. And they have every right to be disappointed with the leadership."Emanuel mentioned that despite poor party leadership, the voter base is motivated to win the upcoming midterm and special elections."The good news for Democrats is the voters are into winning. The leadership is in a different place," he said, adding that the DNC, for example, is too focused on criticizing the party to embrace a winning mindset."I mean, look at the DNC. They're spent seven months post the election, firing squad in the circle, MIA missing from action when this is an existential, if you believe in it, which I do Donald Trump is a real challenge to not only our politics, but our policy, where we are in the country, where we are in the economy, and there's no Democratic Party" Emanuel added.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE"But that doesnt stop the Democratic voters from being energized," he continued. "We gotta capture that energy, focus 2026 as a referendum on Republicans and the rubber stamp Congress."The Democratic National Committee did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The old adage goes: Where there is smoke, there is fire. And the metaphorical smoke billowed during the first day of SEC Media Days on Monday around college football legend Nick Saban.Rumors about Saban returning to the sport he left more than a year ago ramped up.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFormer Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Greg McElroy brought some of the rumors into the atmosphere during an interview on the "Mac and Cube" radio show in Birmingham."A very much in-the-know person that I have a lot of respect for and have spent a lot of time around and just really, really admire, they seem to think Nick Saban is not done coaching," McElroy said. "Hes pretty adamant that he thinks Nick Saban will be coaching again."McElroy did say he believed, personally, Saban was finished during an appearance on ESPN."Id be shocked (if he came back).

"Period. Theres nobody better to develop players and certainly build championship programs."Saban left Alabama after several national championships. He suggested the advent of name, image and likeness and the lawlessness of the transfer portal were the reasons why he stepped away from the sport.Its unclear whether Saban would entertain the idea of a return.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
