Mystery 'covers' Hollywood/ Legendary director and his wife found

A serious incident has shocked Hollywood, after American cinema legend Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their luxury Los Angeles apartment.

According to US authorities, the two victims are suspected of being stabbed to death, while the investigation is focusing on their son, Nick Reiner, 32, who is being questioned by police.

Reiner, 78, an Oscar-nominated director, and Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found with fatal stab wounds inside their Brentwood mansion, one of California's most exclusive areas, according to police sources. The home, valued at about $13.5 million, showed no signs of forced entry or forced entry.

The bodies were discovered by their daughter, Romy Reiner, who lives across the street from her parents and had gone to visit them. She had just published a few days ago photos with her father during the holidays, accompanied by an emotional message for the family.

Investigators have confirmed that they are questioning the couple's son, Nick Reiner, who is currently considered a "person of interest" in the double murder investigation. However, no arrests have been made and police have not named any suspects. Authorities say the investigation is still in its early stages.

Nick Reiner has spoken publicly about his struggles with drug addiction in the past. In a 2016 interview, he admitted that he first entered rehab at the age of 15 and that his addiction had led him to difficult living situations, including periods of homelessness. He has kept himself out of the public eye for years.

Los Angeles Police Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said the investigation is ongoing and that several family members are being interviewed to help uncover the full story. Meanwhile, LAPD Captain Mike Bland has described the case as an “apparent homicide,” confirming the involvement of the Major Crimes Unit.

The death of Rob Reiner marks the loss of one of the most important figures in the American film industry. He first rose to fame as an actor on the legendary series “All in the Family,” before building an extraordinary career as a director with iconic films such as This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally and A Few Good Men. He was also the co-founder of Castle Rock Entertainment, the company behind hits such as Seinfeld and The Shawshank Redemption.

Michele Singer Reiner was a renowned producer and photographer, famous for the photograph of Donald Trump that was used on the cover of the book Trump: The Art of the Deal. The couple had been married since 1989 and had three children.

In an official statement, a family representative said: "We are deeply shocked and saddened by this sudden loss. We ask for privacy at this extremely difficult time."

Investigations continue, while authorities are expected to shed more light on the circumstances of this event that has shocked not only the Reiner family, but also the entire world of cinema.
