Two people were found dead Sunday at the Brentwood home of director and actor Rob Reiner.
Personnel from the Los Angeles Fire Department were summoned to the home in the 200 block of Chadbourne Avenue, between Sunset and San Vicente Boulevards, around 3:30 p.m. Sunday for medical aid, according to department spokesperson Margaret Stewart.
An LAFD spokesperson confirmed that the deceased were 78-year-old Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.
TMZ reported the two suffered “lacerations consistent with a knife,” and that the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division was investigating.
People Magazine cited multiple sources to report that Reiner’s son, Nick Reiner, was suspected in the deaths. The outlet also reported that the couple’s daughter, Romy Reiner, was the one who found the bodies.
A statement issued by the Reiner family was published by Variety, saying “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”
Rob Reiner worked in Hollywood for five decades, with credits that include starring in the CBS hit sitcom “All in the Family” and directing a string of movies including “Stand By Me,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “This Is Spinal Tap,” “The Princess Bride” and “A Few Good Men.”
