When crews reached the scene, they discovered a woman, aged 68, and a male, aged 78. Police, including detectives from LAPD’s robbery-homicide division, were subsequently called to the scene.
A spokesperson for the family confirmed to the LA Times that the deceased were Rob and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner. “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” a statement sent by the representative reads. “We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”
In a brief statement, an LAPD spokesperson told Vanity Fair “At this time, no further details are available as this is an ongoing RHD investigation, into an apparent homicide.”
