LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found deceased Sunday at their Los Angeles home, according to a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation. Although authorities have not publicly confirmed the identities, investigators suspect that both individuals suffered stab wounds, leading to an inquiry involving a family member.
Emergency responders were dispatched at around 3:30 p.m. to a medical aid request, where they found the lifeless bodies of a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman inside. The Los Angeles Police Department's Robbery Homicide Division is now treating the incident as an apparent homicide, as reported by Capt. Mike Bland.
Reiner was a prolific figure in Hollywood, known for directing iconic films such as 'This is Spinal Tap,' 'A Few Good Men,' 'When Harry Met Sally,' and 'The Princess Bride.' He rose to fame for his role as Meathead in the classic sitcom 'All in the Family,' earning two Emmy Awards.
Having celebrated his 78th birthday in March, Reiner's sudden death has left a void in the entertainment industry. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the loss devastating, praising Reiner's substantial contributions to culture and his advocacy for social justice.
A son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, Rob was married to Michele Singer Reiner since 1989 after meeting during the filming of 'When Harry Met Sally.' The couple had three children together. He was previously married to actress Penny Marshall, with whom he adopted a daughter, Tracy. Reiner's father, Carl, passed away in 2020 at the age of 98, while Marshall died in 2018.
