BREAKING UPDATE: Rob Reiner And His Wife Are Confirmed Dead (UPDATE: Murdered by Their Son?)

This one hurts this author’s heart. Earlier tonight, we reported that two were found dead at Rob Reiner’s residence. As ‘Gordon K’ wrote:

We truly hope this doesn't turn out to be the case, but it appears that Rob Reiner and his spouse may have been murdered in their Brentwood home according to the New York Post.

We shared his hope, but unfortunately, it has been confirmed that Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, are in fact the persons who have been found dead. The first we saw was TMZ:

So far, they are the only outlet reporting it, but we feel that their reputation is such that this is likely to be true. From the article:

As we told you ... two dead bodies were found in Rob and Michele's Brentwood home Sunday afternoon -- and law enforcement sources tell us it is the Reiners.
Our sources say the two suffered lacerations consistent with a knife. The LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division is still investigating.

Naturally, with this being Los Angeles, the possibilities in terms of suspects and motives are nearly infinite. If there is a murderer out there, we hope that person is caught. We would hope that the Reiners would get justice, but since California doesn’t have the death penalty that doesn’t seem to be in the cards. The best we can hope for is something near justice.

Mr. Reiner started as an actor and continued to act throughout his life, but we think frankly his greatest impact has been as a director:

Rob Reiner, the legendary director and actor who rose to prominence in 'All in the Family' and went on to direct classics 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me,' and 'The Princess Bride,' was found dead in his home alongside his wife.

Incidentally, there is a sequel to ‘This is Spinal Tap,’ called ‘Spinal Tap II: The End Continues’ which is on HBO Max (or whatever that streaming service is called this week). The ‘two’ is shaped like Stonehenge stones, in a nice touch. And reportedly, there is a final movie called ‘Spinal Tap at Stonehenge: The Final Finale’ set to release next year but… we have to wonder if it was fully ready to go yet, and if this death might disrupt those plans.

In any case, Rob Reiner was a staggering talent and his loss was a great one. And politics aside, he will be missed.

UPDATE: We have learned from Sarah Anderson, at our sister site PJ Media, that they were allegedly murdered by their son:

That post links to a People Magazine article which is pretty unequivocal:

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed by their son, Nick, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.

They also have some more information about the alleged killer:

In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.
Nick told PEOPLE that the chaotic period of addiction — including nights and sometimes weeks sleeping outside — later became the basis for the semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote.
‘Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family,’ Nick told PEOPLE at the time.

Of course, we don’t know how their sources know this to be the case, hence the ‘allegedlys’ being used in our article. This is naturally a developing story, and we will update you as we learn more.

Still, rest in peace, Rob and Michele Reiner.
