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.

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
I hate these types so much. No, your piece of shit druggie son is just a piece of shit druggie. The reason you refuse to make him responsible is actually narcissism on your part - if you had to admit your son is responsible for his own behaviour, you'd have to accept that you as his father played a part. But you can't do that because Boomer Lib, and now you and your wife are dead. Idiot.
 
Nick seems like the kind of guy who could have the best parents ever and he'd still kill them.

He's just that evil.
I don’t know why so many people here are struggling to understand this. Especially since they also seem to have no problem just immediately considering Rob, and his wife bad people who deserved to be murdered in cold blood by their own son just because they were rich lefties, and didn’t like Trump.

Nick didn’t slit the throats of his parents because his daddy was sperging about Trump on Twitter, and wasn’t spending enough time with him, or because he was raised in Hollywood, or just because of the drugs although they certainly made things worse, etc.

He did it because he was simply just born bad. Every piece of evidence we have so far points to this. From him purposely throwing tantrums to embarrass his parents to repeatedly stealing, and destroying other people’s property to Rob’s other kids turning out just fine to the fact that in every photo that’s been released of him he has the same cold, dead, Chris-chan-like eyes, and creepy fake smile.

Seriously, there’s countless times where this exact same thing has happened. The only differences in this case is that the victims were extremely famous for their contributions to art, and pop-culture, and the President for some reason decided to insert himself into the situation in one of the most tone-deaf ways possible.

Yes. Exactly. Look at his eyes. It's a huge giveaway. He looks like he has no humanity in him at all.

Someone pages before posted recent pictures of him and the images creeped the hell out of me. It's the eyes.
 
Of course, it's also possible his executive function has deteriorated to the point he's losing the ability to regulate his behavior, not that it was ever great to begin with.
Nah. Deteriorating cognitive functions would manifest in things like sniffing kids or shouting "niggers" from the White House window.

It's ugly, but have you looked outside lately? World is a dumpster fire, filled with AIDS needles and discarded labubus. Politeness and decorum didn't save us. So this is ZFG by the single most vilified man (going by petabytes of attack media) in human history so far.

You love to see it. Now do judges, Mr President. 🤗

According to the LA Times, Reiner and family were supposed to go hang out with the Obamas the night after they were killed.

It may have been said before, but he went to the Conan O'Brien thing (which was supposedly formal) in a hoodie and was apparently walking around in a creepy way asking everyone at the party if they were famous. The party itself sounds absolutely awful in a hollywood sort of way. Even Jane Fonda was there. Everyone (per usual) was working the room.
 
Why did they bring Nick along to Conan O’Brien’s big fancy industry Christmas Party.
Maybe they were trying to placate him by letting him go with them. Or they didn't trust him to be alone, due to relapsing or the fact that he has a history of getting violent (and that's just what we know. Imagine the stuff that they didn't tell people or had witnesses to).

Either way, a majority of addicts know how to emotionally manipulate people - especially their parents, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was being passive-aggressive or otherwise being a twat to them which made them feel like they had to bring him.

Or maybe they forced him to go as a way to 'network' with other Hollywood people, so it looks like to others he's not a big piece of shit and is "getting better."

Nick seems like the kind of guy who could have the best parents ever and he'd still kill them.

He's just that evil.
I have a feeling this might just be the case. The family's yoga instructor they had (they had hired a yoga instructor for the whole family to help Nick) said that he had big issues, particularly really severe tantrums when he wanted attention. Even as an adult. It was apparently such a trait that it was common knowledge about him.

But if he was abusing any substance (hard drugs or alcohol) so severely he needed rehab at age 15, he was using before that. So I wouldn't be surprised if he had arrested development at age 10-15. That happens with addicts, which is a huge reason why they're a pain in the ass to deal with besides being huge selfish assholes.


He just seemed like a ticking bomb that was going to go off at one point. If he didn't kill his parents, he would've killed or seriously harmed someone along the way.
 
I took it to mean that Rob Reiner was so consumed with insanity and hatred for Trump that he ignored what was truly important - his own son
As someone pointed out before, Trump's kids aren't very likely to stab him and they're as normal as it's possible to be.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
 
>they're what? dead? huh... oh geeze, wow, that's terrible (keeps looking at golf bag leaning against the wall)
>mind if I just go to the bathroom real quick?
>bathroom? now? okay I guess, the police aren't here yet, just be quick
>grabs the golf bag and sneaks it out of the house

later, Nick under interrogation, admits to hiding the murder weapon in the golf bag
>golf bag? what golf bag? we didn't find any in the house
>it was right there in the foyer leaned against the wall

>RIIING
>oh hi Billy, what's up?
>Larry, where's your golf bag?
>what, my golf bag? which one? why?
>listen Larry, apparently Nick admitted to hiding the murder weapon in a golf bag, not just any golf bag, in *your* bag that you loaned to Rob
>what? oh yeah, I did loan him that bag, now that I think of it
>do yo know where it is? because the police can't find it
>well it must still be at Rob's because he never gave it back
>so he never gave it back? you don't have it?
>no, I swear I don't have it, if I would I would tell you!
>uhh okay Larry, if you say so

cue scene about larry panicking and dumping the bag off a bridge into the river, add a quirky non sequitur interaction Larry has with a passerby that questions him what the hell he is doing

>I'm an accomplice to a murder now... my life will never be the same...

Later the witness that saw him on the bridge dumping the bag figures out it was the bag the police are searching for (it's all over the news, missing golf bag with murder weapon, cash prize for information on whereabouts), the witness blackmails him for money in exchange for silence. The witness turns up in future episodes blackmailing for money each time. (possibly once it pisses Larry off so much he murders the witness)

The right thing to do should have been not going to the party and stay with him.

If that was the case, then that really paints the picture of what kind of parents they were. Their son is having an episode and instead of staying with him to solve it and parenting him, they took him with them because they couldn't just miss the party.
 
Bear in mind auteur theory wasn't really a thing in American cinema until the 1960s (we got it from the French, hence the name), and it largely died when Michael Cimino bombed worse than Nagasaki with Heaven's Gate. But the perception of the director as the film's prime mover remains to this day.
This is a retarded understanding of what happened. Heaven’s Gate led to studios being more careful about creative control, but the auteurs just went to independent studios, hence the rise of Carolco, Orion, etc. in the 80s and early 90s. They imploded but there remains a healthy ecosystem of independent studios to this day.
 
I've never seen Trump gravedance before, except when it's literal terrorists. This is the very first time I've seen him "cross the line" with someone, and I'm taken aback by it.

Why? Meathead spent every waking moment shit talking Trump and peddling in conspiracy theories that turned out to be bullshit. There was never a moment when he wasn't ranting about the DUMBEST fucking shit that Trump has allegedly done. His response to Meathead's death was actually TAME compared to what he could've said.
 
Anyone else reminded of Brynn Hartman in all this?

Everyone blames the drugs for what happened, but she was a nasty piece of work long before Andy Dick entered the picture; her murdering her husband was probably inevitable.

If you read the one biography about Phil, there's a lot of mentions of her fighting in public with Phil backstage.

She was jealous that Phil was more famous than her and her career went nowhere. Phil even tried to arrange a show that would have given her work but it didn't work out.

Damn, that is even more sadistic. Fuck this guy, it's too bad he can't get the death penalty because he deserves it.

He gives me Paris Bennett vibes. Paris is an evil child who murdered his sister.

Once again. It's the eyes.

The other not unknown thing to happen is for someone with severe mental illness who also happens to abuse drugs to be repeatedly funneled into the "rehab/treatment" system by their parents as the solution to all their problems. The total number of times he went through rehab kind of suggests that their was alot of denial about what might have been really wrong and a search for something to blame (drugs) to avoid other issues.
 
It's obviously something personal with him, and he blew an opportunity to say nice things anyway, but then regret that the lax policies towards drugs endorsed by Reiner indirectly led to his death. . .
As I've said elsewhere, really the smartest thing to say would have been nothing at all. If he'd said nice things, the same people attacking him now for saying horrible things would be attacking him for being insincere.

Having said that, I respect Trump for keeping it real. He didn't pretend to have liked or respected Rob Reiner, and he didn't pretend to be sad that Reiner was brutally murdered. You can argue about the lack of class it would take to openly admit these things before the body's even gone cold, but you can't fault his honesty.
I'd imagine they woke up at some point during the whole getting murdered process.
Depends on how surgical the son was when he killed them. They might not have even felt it.
I think it's much more likely Trump just doesn't give a shit because, hell, they already shot him once.
It's more like 'What am I gonna do? Run for President again?'
As someone pointed out before, Trump's kids aren't very likely to stab him and they're as normal as it's possible to be.
That was me. That was me who said that

Yeah, I already corrected myself. Keep up with conversation.
 
Also how miserable the people around him usually look in photos

Can't even fake a smile around this fucking creep.

He seems like he was mentally exhausting to live with.

Unfortunately the only thing you can do with a psychopath is kick them out, get a restraining order, get security, and never contact them ever.

The sad thing is most people can't afford security.

As some have said, he could've said mean things about Ginsberg, or Ozzy, but he didn't. Why? Because they weren't focused on him for such a long period of time and directly attacked him. You can disagree with someone politically and still show enough grace towards them in their death and final hours. Meathead deserves NONE of that, considering his activism and his frothing at the mouth way in which he (like much of Hollywood) actively went after Trump and actually spent money to do damage to him politically. I don't blame Trump for what he said, and honestly, as I stated previously, it's tame compared to what he actually REALLY thinks about the asshole.
