Recent details have emerged about the tragic deaths of esteemed filmmaker Rob Reiner and artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose bodies were located at their Brentwood, Los Angeles property on Sunday.

The Initial Report

A source indicates citing a confidential source, a therapist arriving for an session was the first to notice something was wrong after failing to get inside the house. The practitioner then got in touch with the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who lives close by.

When she went into the home, Romy found her father's body. Reports state she then left the home distraught, unaware at that moment that her mother's body was also present. A companion who had gone with her then dialed 911. Following this, first responders discovered Michele Singer Reiner's body.

Criminal Proceedings

The police have charged the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with the charges of premeditated murder, including the use of a dangerous weapon, said to be a knife. He is currently being held without bail.

Disputed Reports

The confidential informant challenged several earlier details. It was stated that while Romy Reiner told first responders that her brother Nick resided in a separate structure on the grounds, she did not identify him as a suspect at that time.

Additionally refuted published suggestions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been especially "apprehensive" about Nick's actions in recent weeks. The source claimed the family was "familiar with working through [Nick's] problems together."

This correction applies to accounts of reportedly "erratic" conduct by Nick at a event held by Conan O'Brien on the night before the discovery. While the source noted they were unable to confirm whether Rob had "scolded" his son at the party, they asserted that reports of a "heated argument" between the two were untrue.

Investigation Details

Per law enforcement officials, the coroner had still not confirmed at that point whether the Reiners died Saturday night or on Sunday. Some accounts noted the state of their bodies implied they had been dead for a number of hours.

Nick Reiner was arrested at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park area, about 15 miles from the scene. He was due to have a hearing on Tuesday, but his legal counsel, Alan Jackson, said his client had not received medical clearance and would not appear until no sooner than Wednesday.
