God damn way to bury the lede with that title. He’s an old guy I assume found dead in his home means he died like of old age or cardiac arrest or something. Not that it’s potential double homicide.
And reports now saying it’s their son
Hello, my name is Nick Reiner. You killed my father. Prepare to die…
Well, this is awkward.
I hate I lold at this.
Yeah, it didn’t feel good to write either.
Would make more sense to be one of the other siblings saying that to him, wouldn’t it?
People is reporting it.

It very well be true…but calling what People does “reporting” isn’t great. People was always a tabloid, but is now akin to TMZ as it struggles for relevance.
“Source say”…then not including what any of the sources actually said is just hack.
I’m not saying he didn’t do it. In fact I’m pretty sure at the end of the day it will come out that he did.
But Pepperidge Farm remembers when news reporters remembered to use the world “allegedly” in their headlines until after the trial was concluded.
I remember lots of over the top and ironic use of that term years after the Simpson trial, too, since nearly everyone thought he did it.
It’s still really wild how Norm Macdonald was one of the few people who wasn’t a cowering pussy about it…but probably lost his job at SNL over it.
He definitely lost his job over it.
Stabbed of old age…
Yeah, my first thought was the awful Gene Hackman situation. Spending a whole week starving while dementia prevents getting any help at all.
