New Details Emerge Regarding the Finding of the Bodies of Rob and Michele Reiner Remains

New information has come to light about the untimely passing of acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose remains were discovered at their Brentwood, Los Angeles residence on Sunday.

The Alarm

According to a report citing a confidential source, a practitioner arriving for an session initially became concerned after not being able to enter the house. The practitioner then got in touch with the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who resides in the vicinity.

When she went into the home, Romy found her father's body. It is said she then fled the house in anguish, not realizing at that moment that her mother's body was there as well. Her roommate who had gone with her promptly called 911. Subsequently, emergency responders discovered Michele Singer Reiner's body.

Legal Developments

The police have charged the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with two counts of premeditated murder, along with the charge related to a weapon, reportedly a knife. He is presently detained and denied 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 resided in a separate structure on the property, she did not name him as a potential suspect at that juncture.

The source also refuted circulated suggestions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been especially "worried" about Nick's behavior in the weeks leading up to the incident. Rather the family was "used to working through [Nick's] problems together."

This correction applies to reports of reportedly "erratic" behavior by Nick at a gathering held by Conan O'Brien on the night before the tragedy. Although the source stated they were not in a position to confirm whether Rob had "rebuked" his son at the party, they said that reports of a "major confrontation" between the two were untrue.

Ongoing Inquiry Details

As stated by law enforcement sources, the coroner had still not confirmed as of Tuesday whether the Reiners died late on Saturday or on Sunday. Preliminary accounts suggested the condition of their bodies implied they had been deceased for a period of time.

Nick Reiner was taken into custody at around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park, about 15 miles from the scene. He was set to have a hearing on Tuesday, but his lawyer, Alan Jackson, indicated his client had not been medically cleared and would not be present until Wednesday or later.
