Homicide detectives are investigating after two people were found dead at director-actor Rob Reiner’s Los Angeles home, authorities say.
The Los Angeles Fire Department says it responded to a medical aid request shortly after 3:30 p.m. local time and found a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman dead inside.
Reiner turned 78 in March. Messages to his representatives were not immediately returned.
Detectives with the Robbery Homicide Division were investigating an “apparent homicide” at Reiner’s home, says Capt. Mike Bland with the Los Angeles Police Department. Authorities have not confirmed the identities of the people found dead at the residence in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood on the city’s west side that’s home to many celebrities.
Reiner has long been one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood, and his work includes some of the most memorable movies of the 1980s and ’90s, including “This is Spinal Tap,” “A Few Good Men,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride.”
His role as Meathead in the 1970s TV classic “All in the Family” alongside Carroll O’Connor’s Archie Bunker catapulted him to fame.
The son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner has been married to photographer Michele Singer Reiner since 1989. The two met while he was directing “When Harry Met Sally” and have three children together.
Reiner was previously married to actor-director Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981. He adopted her daughter, Tracy Reiner.
