🔗 Share this article New Details Surface Concerning the Finding of the Reiner Couple's Bodies Fresh particulars have surfaced about the tragic passing of acclaimed film director Rob Reiner and artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose bodies were located at their Los Angeles home home on Sunday. The Initial Report According to a report quoting a person close to the family, a therapist arriving for an appointment first raised the alarm after failing to get inside the residence. The therapist then got in touch with the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who resides close by. Upon entering the home, Romy came upon her father's body. Accounts indicate she then exited the property overwhelmed with grief, not realizing at that moment that her mother's body was also inside. Her roommate who had accompanied her then dialed 911. Afterward, emergency responders discovered Michele Singer Reiner's body. Criminal Proceedings Authorities have formally accused the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with the charges of premeditated murder, as well as the use of a dangerous weapon, reportedly a knife. He is currently being held and is ineligible for bail. Clarifications The person close to the family also disputed several initial details. The source indicated that while Romy Reiner told first responders that her brother Nick lived in a guesthouse on the property, she did not name him as a potential suspect at that time. Furthermore pushed back against circulated notions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been particularly "apprehensive" about Nick's actions in the weeks leading up to the incident. Rather the family was "accustomed to working through [Nick's] problems together." This correction also extends to descriptions of reportedly "erratic" conduct by Nick at a event thrown by Conan O'Brien the evening prior to the tragedy. Although the source noted they were not in a position to confirm whether Rob had "scolded" his son at the party, they maintained that claims of a "heated argument" between the two were untrue. Ongoing Inquiry Timeline According to law enforcement sources, the coroner had yet to determine as of Tuesday whether the Reiners died late on Saturday or on Sunday. Preliminary media reports indicated the condition of their bodies suggested they had been dead for a number of hours. Nick Reiner was taken into custody at around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park, some 15 miles from the scene. He was due to appear in court on Tuesday, but his legal counsel, Alan Jackson, stated his client had not been medically cleared and would not appear until Wednesday at the earliest.
