SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) – Two people whose deaths are connected to a Coronado mansion have been laid to rest. Thirty-two-year-old Rebecca Zahau was found naked and bound, hanging from a balcony at the home owned by her boyfriend, Jonah Shacknai. She was buried in Missouri on Saturday.
Funeral services were held last Wednesday for Shacknai’s six-year-old son Max, who died after falling down a staircase.
Zahau’s family released a statement to News 8, saying in part:
“There are no words in any dictionary or language to describe the full beauty, love, compassion, selflessness, generosity and kindness of Rebecca.”
Zahau’s family says “Rebecca was very intelligent and achieved anything she set her mind on. Rebecca valued her life and lived her life to its fullest.”
Her Missouri-based sister Mary Zahau-Loehner described her as a devoted friend and athlete who was never afraid to take on new challenges.
