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

On Sunday, Dec. 14, at about 3:30 p.m., the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) was called to a home to provide medical aid, the LAFD told PEOPLE. Upon arrival, they found a man, 78, and a woman, 68, dead. Sources confirm the victims were Rob and Michele.

Rob is a director, producer and actor whose career includes some of Hollywood’s most beloved films — from his 1984 directorial debut, This Is Spinal Tap, to Stand by Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).

He first became famous for his role as Mike on the Norman Lear TV sitcom All in the Family.

Rob was born in the Bronx, N.Y., in 1947. His father was legendary comedian Carl Reiner and his mother was actress and singer Estelle Lebost.

Rob and Michele met when Rob directed When Harry Met Sally, and the couple married in 1989 before having three children.

Previously, Rob was married to the late Penny Marshall, who died in 2018 at age 75 of complications from diabetes.

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.

Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood home owned by director and actor Rob Reiner, multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA.

The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old.

LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives were assigned to the case. Several other LAPD officials said they were aware of the investigation but could not share any information.

There is a large police presence at the home Sunday evening.

LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m.

Within a few minutes, LAPD officers were dispatched to the home for a report of an, "ambulance death investigation," which is LAPD terminology when officers are called by firefighters to the discovery of a death.

Neighbors said Reiner and his wife live in the home, and property records indicate they own the home.

The only credit I could find for him was on a 2015 film called "Being Charlie" which is about the drug addicted son of an important man. It was supposedly mostly autobiographical. And to get it made, his dad directed it.

The movie ends with the main character all better from drugs, reconciled with his father and about to become a stand-up comedian.
lol wonderful.

It must be a real joy to work on set as a gaffer or PA or lighting director and find out the movie you're making is just familial navel gazing featuring the director's worthless son, but with names changed so they'll never be held accountable IRL.
 
I do wonder what the full details will be. As cagey as the cops are right now, this is gonna be a story that gets raked through movies over and over, like the Tate-Labianca murders. Although, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess there's no cults involved here.

Even if he was a blowhard online, I am saddened for the death of him and his wife. Being killed by someone you love is unimaginable.
 
Rob Reiner talks to his buddy Sway about his son Nick, his addictions and the movie he made with him.

Rob Reiner lived within the LA drug culture, was an advocate for hard drug legalization and made every possible excuse for his deadbeat son. It was the usual stuff for years about how it wasn't Nick's fault. That he just had an illness. That he just needed another round of treatment after the previous sixteen rounds failed. He was the worst sort of enabler parent of a drug addict and he paid the price for it.

its crazy people seem to be in denial about how bad a parent he was.
 
I can't believe one of my favorite point 'n click adventure creators died in such a horrific way.

The joke is that Rob Reiner looked like Al Lowe.

I'm sorry.

On a more serious note, I found Reiner absolutely insufferable as a person, and I don't think he's made anything worth watching since the early '90s (didn't care much for The Bucket List). However, getting stabbed to death alongside your wife by your own flesh and blood isn't really the kind of "just deserts" I'd wish on literally anyone, let alone on someone whose biggest crime was being an annoying blowhard.

Rest in peace, fatty. I'll always love Stand by Me.
 
Unrelated I've always wondered this, why do people hate james woods? I like him as an actor and he's funny on xitter. But everywhere else people say he's bad, and idk why?
He's a MAGA chud now, and was a bit of an odd duck beforehand.

Apropos of nothing, a couple weeks ago I rewatched A Few Good Men (via YT clips) and while it is intensely entertaining and well-shot, I must admit it's basically a 90s action movie transposed into a court room. Cruise might as well have blown up Nicholson with a LAW at the end and quipped "Court's adjourned". There are other courtroom dramas that are just as enjoyable without the need for plot devices like 'lets just get this witness so pissed off he confesses to a crime right in court'
 
Thing is that he was probably too busy seething about Trump and Trumpism to pay attention to his own boy.

It's like what Jordan Peterson often says. If you want to lecture people about politics, you've got to clean your room first.
 
On the contrary, this does mean the parents are responsible, more so because of their wealth and libshit attitudes. You have complete control over your underage child's life to the extent of your capabilities. If he tweaks out, you failed. (A libshit might not even been trying.)


Get raped, solzhenitsyn.

Regarding parenting; Reiner as a director traveled a lot for work and was MIA most of the time in his kids lives. And I don't know much about Rob's second wife but I would assume she was like most Hollywood types who paid nannies to raise her kids and let them be free range and on an allowance and rarely paid attention to them unless they were needed for a photo op. And there is an entire sub division of drug dealers in Hollywood that target kids of celebrities, directors, and studio higher ups since they have cash and the personality types (parental issues over being neglected and more if there is physical and emotional abuse going on) that make them vulnerable to become junkies. And that's not counting the mental illness shit which is completely random sometimes.
 
Saw a lot of people on this thread here bringing up what happened to Charlie Kirk - though the motives were different, in terms of what actually happened to them, how Reiner went out was scarier than Charlie's. I think Charlie died almost immediately after he was shot in the neck, but Rob was probably scared out of his mind as his son was attacking him and his wife. Rob likely felt betrayal in his last moments, just sad no matter how you look at it.
