Rob Reiner, the son of a comedy giant who became one himself as one of the preeminent filmmakers of his generation with movies such as “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally …” and “This Is Spinal Tap,” has died. He was 78.
Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, were found dead Sunday at their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed their identities but could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Authorities were investigating an “apparent homicide,” said Capt. Mike Bland with the Los Angeles Police Department. The Los Angeles Fire Department said it responded to a medical aid request shortly after 3:30 p.m.
I know he’s had a well established career but for real the only thing I can think of is his likeness in South Park.
Homicide? Who the fuck would kill Rob Reiner?
That star studded “work from home” remake of The Princess Bride that was done during COVID was absolute gold tho. Was he behind that? That was the type of brevity we needed when stuck at home for months.
People is reporting it was his son: https://people.com/rob-reiner-wife-michele-were-killed-by-son-sources-11868856
“The police are questioning their son” and “Their son killed them” are two very different things. I’m very curious what their “sources” told them.
He’s been arrested.
And he’s schizophrenic
Drug addict, in and out of rehab 17 times since the age of 15, spent years homeless.
Yeah but I heard that Rob was working on a series about Trump and Puntin, then after Trump tweet. I don’t like conspiracy theories but we got one here.
That is not, in fact, what People is reporting. That article states that Nick is alive and is being questioned. That is a far cry from reporting that he did it.
I always remember him crosseyed on The Jerk
That was Karl Reiner.
