The son of a famous Hollywood director was seen carrying a body bag

Samuel Haskell IV, the son of Sam Haskell, who manages famous names like George Clooney and Whoopi Goldberg, was seen throwing part of his body in a trash can in newly released security camera footage.

Shocking footage obtained by TMZ shows Samuel Haskell IV parking his white Tesla next to a dumpster in Encino on Tuesday afternoon, then opening the back and pulling out what appears to be a large trash bag.

Haskell, 35, was seen trying to lift the large bag onto his shoulder before throwing it in the trash.

The horrific footage was captured in the early hours of Wednesday, as he came across the body of a homeless man collecting recyclable waste.

Police said there were no obvious tattoo-like marks on the torso, but they believed they likely belonged to Haskell’s missing wife, May.

Mei Haskell had already been reported missing by her parents (mother Yanxiang Wang and father Gaochen Li) before the gruesome discovery.

They have a history of violence

Haskell was arrested after investigators discovered a large amount of blood and other evidence in his home that indicated possible foul play.

He remained in jail on $2 million bail on murder charges until his court appearance on Monday.

He allegedly paid workers $500 to remove three large trash bags from the garage of his Tarzana home on Tuesday, just one day before the dismembered body was found.

Haskell, who describes himself as a director and posts low-budget videos online, has a history of violence.

He was also charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon in December 2008, pleaded no contest to battery, and was sentenced to three years in prison in 2010.
