Rob Reiner and His Wife Michele Were Killed by Their Son (Exclusive Sources)

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were killed by their son, Nick, according to multiple sources who have spoken with family members. Police have not yet confirmed the account.

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.

Police say Nick, 32, is alive and being questioned. No arrests have been made.

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.

JUST IN 🚨🚨: "'Supreme Court Delivers 8-1 Ruling Trump's Justices Come Through Big Time!!!!""

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to reinstate a federal anti-money laundering statute at the request of the federal government, allowing the law to remain in effect while an ongoing legal challenge continues in a lower court. The justices issued an emergency stay that temporarily reverses a lower court’s injunction blocking enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone dissenter in the decision. The Biden administration’s Justice Department filed an emergency appeal late last month, urging the high court to intervene after a federal district judge ruled that the CTA was unconstitutional and halted its implementation nationwide. Just three days after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Supreme Court granted the government’s request, enabling federal officials to move forward with enforcing the law as litigation proceeds. Although the Justice Department’s application remained pending through the presidential transition, the Trump...
