Rob Reiner, Wife Found Stabbed to Death in LA Home

The family of acclaimed film director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, have announced in a statement that the couple have been found stabbed to death Sunday afternoon inside the Brentwood home.

Los Angeles police confirmed two people were found stabbed to death, launching a high-profile homicide investigation that has reverberated across Hollywood.

Exclusive sources told People Magazine that Reiner's son Nick Reiner, 32, might be involved in the investigation.

Reiner has two sons, Jake and Nick. In past interviews, Nick Reiner had spoken candidly about struggles with drug addiction and periods of homelessness, recounting in a 2016 interview with People magazine that he lived on the streets in several states and described the experience as deeply difficult, the Post reported.

The Los Angeles Fire Department reported that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the scene. Those are the ages of Reiner and his wife.

Paramedics were dispatched to the home around 3:30 p.m., followed shortly by LAPD officers responding to what was described as an "ambulance death investigation." Detectives from the department's Robbery-Homicide Division were called in, and a knife is believed to have been used in the attack, sources said.

Police blocked off the street outside the upscale Brentwood property as detectives moved in and out of the home. The residence, decorated for the holidays, sits in a gated neighborhood known for its privacy.

An LAPD spokesperson confirmed to the Post that detectives from the department's Robbery-Homicide Division — which handles major and high-profile cases — were on scene.

Reiner is the acclaimed director behind films including "When Harry Met Sally," "The Princess Bride," "This Is Spinal Tap," and "A Few Good Men."

The investigation is ongoing, and police said additional details would be released as they become available.
