Acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were tragically found dead in their Los Angeles home, both victims of apparent stab wounds. Their daughter, Romy Reiner, discovered their bodies after a massage therapist was unable to gain entry. She promptly contacted emergency services. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the case as a homicide, with no motive disclosed but indications of a potential family dispute preceding the incident.

Rob Reiner, known for his role as Mike “Meathead” Stivic in “All in the Family,” gained acclaim as a director with films like “The Princess Bride” and “When Harry Met Sally…”.
