Los Angeles: Days after the tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, the couple’s official death certificates have arrived, revealing fresh details about their deaths.
According to People, the documents confirm Rob and Michele’s death due to “multiple sharp force injuries caused by a knife by another” inside their Los Angeles residence on Sunday.
Following the attack, Rob and Michele succumbed to the injuries within “minutes.” The documents also indicated that Rob was found first around 3:45 PM, while Michele, who was listed as “widowed”, was found at 3:46 PM.
They have since been cremated, the report added.
This comes at a time when Rob and Michele’s 32-year-old son Nick has been arrested in connection with their killings and is now facing two counts of first-degree murder. The charges carry a maximum life sentence without parole or even a death penalty, stated Nathan Hochman, the Los Angeles district attorney. It also claimed that a knife was used to commit the murders.
He also briefly appeared in court on December 17 but has yet to enter a plea. As stated by People, Nick was being treated for schizophrenia prior to the killings.
At a press conference, Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell confirmed the arrest, saying that Nick Reiner had been “booked for murder.” “A very, very tragic incident,” McDonnell said, as quoted by Variety.
Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead inside their Brentwood home on Sunday afternoon at around 3:40 p.m. The Los Angeles Police Department said at the time that their deaths were being investigated as a homicide, but had not identified a suspect, and no one had been detained.
Rob and Michele Reiner are survived by two other children, son Jake Reiner, who was formerly a local news reporter for KCAL Los Angeles, and daughter Romy. Rob Reiner also adopted a daughter, Tracy Reiner, during his marriage to actress and director Penny Marshall, according to Variety.
