It was shockingly reported that famed movie director and Emmy-award winning TV actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were killed in an apparent stabbing on Sunday. The 78-year-old Reiner and his 70-year-old wife were both found dead in their California home with “lacerations consistent with a knife,” according to TMZ.
The New York Post reported grim details: “Sources told The Post that stab wounds to their throats were among multiple wounds throughout their bodies. Their horrified daughter quickly told investigators that a relative ‘should be a suspect’ because they’re ‘dangerous;” sources told the outlet, suggesting it came during a heated argument.”
According to People.com, Reiner’s son Nick was arrested in connection to the crimes. The site reported: “According to Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department records, Nick was taken into custody and is being held on $4 million bail. At an unrelated press conference Monday morning, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell said Nick had been booked on a murder charge.”
Reiner and his wife had been married since 1989 and had three children together including Nick who previously disclosed that he struggled with addiction issues and homelessness. Reiner directed “This Is Spinal Tap”, “Stand By Me”, “The Princess Bride”, “When Harry Met Sally”, “Misery”, “A Few Good Men”, “The American President”, “Ghosts Of Mississippi” and “The Bucket List,” among other films. Most recently he directed “Spinal Tap: The End Continues,” a sequel to the iconic first film. He was also a two-time Emmy-winning actor for his role in the legendary TV series “All In The Family.”
