Shocking: Rob Reiner & Wife Found Dead in Brentwood Home

In a devastating turn of events, legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead inside their Brentwood home on Sunday afternoon. The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the incident as an apparent homicide.

According to officials, paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department were dispatched to the Reiners’ mansion on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 p.m. after a distress call. Upon arrival, they discovered two deceased individuals, a man and a woman, matching the ages of Rob, 78, and Michele, 68.
