Rob Reiner, the acclaimed theater director known for his precious films such as When Harry Met Sally, Misery, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and This is Spinal Tap, has passed away at the age of 78 in what appears to be a homicide, alongside his 68-year-old spouse, Michele Singer Reiner.
Reports started to surface on Sunday afternoon stating that the authorities found remains of a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman within a residence owned by Reiner in Brentwood, Los Angeles, following a medical assistance request made to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The Los Angeles Police Department later verified that detectives from the robbery homicide division were probing the fatalities as an “apparent homicide.” Meanwhile, both TMZ and People reported that the people sustained injuries indicative of a knife assault.
Sources within law enforcement informed the LA Times that a relative was being questioned regarding the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Rob Reiner, a staunch Democrat, blasted Donald Trump during a 2017 interview.
Speaking to Variety at Dubai International Film Festival, Reiner stated Trump is deemed “mentally unfit” to be the leader of the US. The director further claimed that the American media is not adequately holding the Trump administration responsible for its actions.
Trump is the most unqualified individual to ever hold the office of the presidency in the US, he said.
Calling him “mentally unfit,” Reiner went on to say: “Not only does he not understand how government works, he has no interest in trying to find out how it works.”
During a press conference held on Sunday evening, LAPD Chief Detective Alan Hamilton stated that the probe is still in progress.
“At this time, the LAPD is not seeking anyone as a suspect or as a person of interest ... And we will not be doing that until we conduct our investigation and we move forward,” Hamilton stated.
Reiner and Reiner were married since 1989.
