Rob Reiner dead at 78 after he and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found at their Los Angeles home on Sunday 14 December 2025.
Sources say their daughter, Romy, found them inside the home. Calls about the incident first went to the Los Angeles Fire Department at about 3.30pm, and first responders arrived to find a man and a woman dead. Authorities later identified them as Reiner and his wife, according to the same reporting.
What We Know So Far
The confirmed timeline stays tight for now. The couple died at home, and emergency services responded that afternoon. Beyond that, officials have not released a full public account in the reporting available so far.
What Sources Say About the Suspect
Sources also claim the person who killed the couple was their son, Nick Reiner. That detail sits as an allegation based on those sources, not a formal public finding in the same reporting.
Nick previously spoke about a long struggle with drug addiction that at one point led to homelessness. He also said those years shaped the semi-autobiographical film Being Charlie, which he co-wrote.
