It’s being reported by TMZ that both Rob Reiner and his wife have been stabbed to death in their Brentwood home outside of Los Angeles.
Here’s the reporting:
Rob Reiner — the legendary director — and his wife Michele Singer Reiner have died … TMZ has learned.
As we told you … two dead bodies were found in Rob and Michele’s Brentwood home Sunday afternoon — and law enforcement sources tell us it is the Reiners.
Our sources say the two suffered lacerations consistent with a knife. The LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division is still investigating.
Rob — the son of famed comedian Carl Reiner, who passed away in 2020 — started his career in show business as a comedy writer in the 1960s … working as Steve Martin’s writing partner on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1968 and ’69.
Throughout the 1970s, Rob starred as Michael Stivic — also known as “Meathead” — on the hit sitcom “All in the Family” … for which he won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
“All in the Family” ran for 205 episodes … coming to a close in 1979 — at which point Reiner’s focus shifted more toward directing. His rock mockumentary “This is Spinal Tap” marked his first big hit in the director’s chair.
Over the next decade, Reiner directed iconic films like “Stand By Me,” “The Princess Bride,” and “When Harry Met Sally…” — the last of which led him to the love of his life.
Horrible. May they rest in the peace of Christ.
