Filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed by their son, Nick, PEOPLE reported, citing multiple sources.
The Los Angeles Fire Department said it responded to a 911 call shortly after 3:30 p.m. and found a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman dead inside, the AP reported.
Robbery-homicide detectives were investigating an “apparent homicide” at Reiner’s home, Los Angeles Police Department Capt. Mike Bland said. Authorities have not confirmed the identities of the people found dead at a residence in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood on the city’s west side, which is home to many celebrities.
Reiner has long been one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood, and his work includes some of the most memorable films of the 1980s and 1990s, including “This is Spinal Tap,” “A Few Good Men,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride.”
His role as Meathead in the 1970s TV classic “All in the Family” alongside Carol O’Connor’s Archie Bunker catapulted him to fame.
Rob Reiner, son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, married photographer Michele Singer Reiner in 1989. They met while Reiner was working on *When Harry Met Sally* and had three children together.
Previously, Reiner was married to actor and filmmaker Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981, during which time he adopted her daughter, Tracy Reiner. Carl Reiner died in 2020 at the age of 98, and Marshall died in 2018.
