Daniel Lopez writes Oct. 20 in the Monterey Herald:
A couple that checked into a King City motel in August and died within weeks of each other had ties to the adult film industry.
Haley were traveling in, but the vehicle was seized. It turned out the 2007 Toyota Corolla had been reported stolen on July 23 by Enterprise Rent-A-Car in Nevada after it was not returned, Miller said.
After the interview with police, Miller said Hwang was arrested and booked into Monterey County Jail on suspicion of possessing a stolen vehicle. He was also booked on suspicion of murder, but according to jail staff members, records show Hwang was released on Aug. 24 because no charges were filed against him within the required 48 hours.
"We have not determined if it was a homicide," Miller said, adding that the case remains open as they await a final autopsy report.
"After his release, I believe he returned south and contacted his relatives," said Miller.
Detective Gary Wheelus of the Monterey County Sheriff’s Coroner Division said he was in the process of completing the report Friday. The cause of death will be listed as undetermined, he said.
"There is no way to guess," he said.
The examination showed no signs of trauma or injuries, he said, and toxicology reports showed Haley only had a minimal amount of methadone in her system. He declined to say exactly how much.
Miller said that during their investigation, they were told Haley had a heroin addiction, but because he was not the investigating officer, Miller said he could not say who had told them that or if it had been confirmed.
The primary investigator was not available to comment Friday, Miller said.
Wheelus said that depending on a person’s prior history of drug use, even a small amount of methadone could be lethal.
"What will kill one person won’t even hurt another," he said.
Wheelus said it was Hwang who took Haley to the hospital after he found her unresponsive in the motel room where they were staying.
Miller said Haley had no pulse and wasn’t breathing when she arrived at the emergency room. The actress was later pronounced dead.
Haley got her start in the adult film industry in 2000 when she worked at a video rental store and answered a newspaper advertisement for a nude model.
In 2005 she was named the year’s Unsung Siren by the X-Rated Critics Organization, according to her Web site.
She appeared in more than 300 adult movies, according to the Adult Video News Media Network.
Haley also directed a movie in 2006 and had aspirations of becoming a psychologist or sex therapist after her career in the adult movie business, her Web site states.
Less than three weeks before her death Haley and Hwang were married.
Susan Wohlbrandt, spokeswoman for the Clark County Recorder’s Office in Nevada, said the ceremony took place on Aug. 2 at the Las Vegas Garden of Love.
On the marriage certificate, Hwang listed his residence in Canoga Park; Haley listed hers in Woodland Hills.
Police said they don’t know why Hwang was in Morgan Hill.
Strange death
Cmdr. Joe Sampson of the Morgan Hill Police Department said Hwang checked into a room at the Economy Inn on Sept. 28.
The next day, a manager knocked on the room door to ask Hwang if he wanted to stay another night, but after getting no response, the police were called, said Sampson.
When they went inside the room, they found Hwang’s body.
"He was halfway in the bed halfway out sort of straddling it," said Sampson. "He was fully clothed."
Sampson said there were no signs of injuries or trauma and that Hwang’s death did not appear to be suspicious.
He said it appeared Hwang had been alone in the room and that no drugs or weapons were recovered from the room.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner’s Office on Friday said a determination of the cause of death was pending.
Miller said Hwang’s death doesn’t change their investigation into the death of Haley.
"It’s still open until we get the test results from the coroner."
HALEY RUINED CHICO’S LIFE..SHE WANTED CHICO TO GET HER PILLS ALL THE TIME..HE WAS ALWAYS SO FOCUSED-I MISS HIM ;(
Jasmine, you don’t know nothing about nothing; typical simple minded, one dimensional chick; easy to amuse, easier to seduce.
Jasmine, did it turn you on to be pistol whipped?
Hey my comments are showing up again. Praise to the almighty Allah.
LOL throw me a job assignment and I can probably do it better than you from cleaning your ass to cleaning your house
AND WHATS WRONG WITH THAT SMART ONE?
I CAME TO COMMENT ON CHICO..CUZ NO1 KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION BUT ME SO IF YOU DON’T LIKE ME THAN DON’T WASTE YOUR TYPING ON ME!
I WASN’T PISTOL WHIPPED..BELIEVE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BELIEVE..NO ONE CARES..AND I’M NOT RESPONDING TO ANY LOSER COMMENTS AFTER THIS..
Jasmin, I get it. Because Chico took you out and bought you ice cream a couple of times, then he was “the nice guy”, and nobody knows how great of a guy he was but you? right?! In that crazy, fucked up logic, every child molester in America should get the “nice guy reward” instead of going to prison. BTW, now I gotta go get busy with cleaning my ass. So please, don’t bother replying to my “loser comment”, I won’t be able to read.
Jasmine, how much would it cost to pistol whip and have sex with you?
Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine…if you want to comment on “Chico” you might want to mention how he had a HUGE hand in DESTROYING porn as we once knew it. Before “Chico” came along…there was such a thing as 4 fingers in 1 out. You NEVER saw a woman degrated in the ways YOU have been degraded on camera, unless of course it was for a FAKE BONDAGE shoot. It was Chico’s hate of women that drove his lask of creativity. Before “Chico, if a woman cried on film it was either actng or it was assult. If it was assult…the whole industry was behind talent. Because of Chico, because of Chico. Jasmine, you should REALLY watch your shoots for “Meatholes” again…but this time, watch it with your Father or Brother and see if he doesn’t celebrate Chicos death. Now I know what you’re gonna say; “Of course my Father wouldn’t like seeing me fucked on camera” I know, I know…here’s the difference: If it was a normal sex scene he’d be dissapointed that YOU were doing porn…but if he saw a “Meatholes” shoot…he’d call rape and call the police or hunt down your beloved Chico Wang himself.
If he doesn’t respond as I said he would…HE’S the reason you are so fucked up in the head.
So because Haley wanted pills all the time, he beat and eventually murdered her? Well, that makes it okay. What about the people he hurt? I guess his time in prison for kidnapping and rape was “just a misundertanding.” Good riddance to a piece of shit. Now if we could just get Max Hardcore to off himself. . .
I will say, though, in Jasmine’s defense, that at least she’s an honest whore and makes no bones about the fact she’s an escort (unlike some of these other deluded girls who insist they aren’t prostitutes as the book their next blowbang on their blackberry).
ummmm it wasnt chico who was behind meathols. That dirt bag would be 1 Mark Handel aka Kahn Tusion. Yes the brother of radio personality Bill Handel.
I know who Mark is/was…Chico WAS the guy behind the site AND was more of a participant than you think. I was on set “rescuing” talent from one of his sets….they were a team..Chico and Mark…I feel the same about Mark as I do Chico…Chico and Mark WERE Meatholes. One fed the other.
Mark Handel AKA Khan Tusion who also has some investments in the real estate business, is well known for dating porn girls in private; and according to some girls who have dated him, some of the things he asks them to do, are to fist fuck his ass and piss on him. On camera, he plays this abusive, macho mother fucker who treats girls like shit, but when the camera is off, he retreats to his true self, which is a weak, pathetic sick faggot; just like his pet Chico Wang.
Mark is a piece of shit but he was a piece of shit long before he met up with chico…meatholes, rough sex etc predate chico
so it appears two turds collided in porns toilet.
Said like poetry Mike. 😉
Mark W Handel from Mark Handel Development have something to do with Mark Handel aka Khan Tusion?
They donate money to CALI Dems big time. Does Barbara Boxers and others Dems in LA state and city gov. know were their money comes from?
Where can I see Jasmine Tame getting ababused and humillated in Meatholes?
