Thanks for remembering, Scorekeeper!
There's been THREE reports that point toward the chandelier having relevance in Max's fall.
http://www.cbs8.com/story/15110536/is-mysterious-mansion-death-a-suicide-or-homicide
"Two days prior to the Arizona native's death, the six-year-old son of Zahau's boyfriend - 54-year-old Jonah Shacknai - fell down the stairs onto a chandelier at the home."

The video was taped when a search warrant was served at the mansion Friday night, the day Max's sister posted "RIP Maxie" on Facebook, most likely the day he was declared "brain dead". Investigators brought in a ladder and were seen jumping up and down on the second story, as if they were re-creating the incident. Now I know I heard or read the ladder was used to inspect the chandelier. Either they edited the video or I read it at an unknown website. This video is worth watching, as a review of the week's activities, and JS's questionable financial transactions.

"There have been conflicting reports about how the boy was injured. A neighbor told 10News that the boy, whose name was not released, was hurt by a falling light fixture and is still in the hospital."
In today's comments, someone posted a picture of "owling" on a stair rail. I never heard of it (no kids!), nor "planking" I read in earlier comments. I think these are excellent theories, that "horseplay" was the cause of the fall. The proximity of the chandelier suggests he flew off the railing.

"The boy was left unable to breath and without a pulse Monday after a fall at his home; he was revived and was last known to be at Rady Children's Hospital."
"unable to breath"? Sounds like an airway obstruction. Perhaps this prevented Rebecca and/or his sister from performing CPR. By the time he was revived, he most likely suffered irreversible brain damage.
***********
A mystery surrounds his sister, and why there are so many conflicting reports as to who was present. Her friend, who lives three houses away, said she "was in Coronado till Monday crack of dawn, when she returned to her South Carolina home".
SDSO maintained Rebecca was the only one home at the time of the accident, then later reported Max's sister was there too, but Coronado Patch says it was Rebecca's sister. One news source said his sister called 911 (sorry, I can't find it), but may just be shoddy reporting. Even her age is inconsistent. I've seen "13" and "14".
I have a feeling these contradictions may be JS's effort to protect her from the media, which is certainly understandable. She may have been playing with Max when he fell, maybe even encouraged a dare-devil act, but I doubt she's at all implicated in his accident.
The problem with it all is, lies and cover-ups tend people to think the worst. People in the public eye usually make a short appearance and public statement. That's what people do, when they have an image to maintain. His avoidance casts doubt, and if Rebecca's death is deemed a suicide, most people will not believe it and LE's integrity will be compromised.
QUESTIONS:
1) Where were the maids?
2) Where was the butler?
3) Where was the cook?
4) Where was the gardener?
5) Where was the "pool guy?"
Come on folks, with that much $$$$$, YOU HAVE HELP...
I don't see it either. How is someone going to tie an extension cord with their teeth?

How does anyone commit a murder in this intricate way with other people milling around the house, even if they are teenagers?
I will be beyond shocked if this is a suicide...I don't believe Rebecca would kill herself in this way if she was overcome by grief and/or feelings of guilt. But I am at a loss to see how a murder like this could be accomplished in an occupied house, even a huge one, and am still very confused about who was actually there. Was it one of the teen children and one of their friends, hence the one who was not related? A child of an employee of the house? Who?
anyoldtime48,
thank you so much for researching the charitable contributions this family has and continues to make......they truly seem to believe in, "Paying It Forward"......
Fly with the Angels, Maxie and Rebecca.........

Quite contrary to what the forensic psychologist, who put in his two cents in this case said, and whose opinion is "staged suicide", in other words, murder. The scary thing is, people in his business are often professional court witnesses, and their theories can be mistaken as fact.
Dina Shacknai's a clinical psychologist by profession. Here is an article she published, or rather a link to buy it:

But do we have anything more about Adam, other than the one link I dug up on a charitable contribution to a childrens school, plus the fact he lives in a 750 sq ft apartment in midtown Memphis and works on a tugboat? And landed himself in the midst of some very unfortunate circumstances.

yes-the story I read was she called and asked him to pick up the dogs and he could not on monday,so he told her tuesday and RN said she was upset about Max and HER daughter was there with them..
How would he know if he was speaking Rebecca or Dina? Or someone completely different?
What if it wasnt Rebecca who called?
Because he DID pick up the dog on Tuesday... so when he saw Rebecca that day he would have verified she was who he talked to. Otherwise she would have been confused about why he was there to pick up the dog.
I think by this point he would have realized from the news if it was not Rebecca he talked to when he picked up the dog. (If he had not met her previously.)
Dina and Rebecca would be distinguishable from each other, though they both had dark hair. I don't know about the daughter G, but I'm assuming she doesn't look enough like Rebecca to pass for her.
