Nick Reiner is being questioned by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division following the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, multiple sources close to the family say.
Police have not announced any arrests, and authorities say no one is currently in custody.
According to the sources, Rob and Michele were found in their Los Angeles home by their daughter, Romy, on Sunday, Dec. 14. The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the residence around 3:30 p.m. to provide medical aid, and first responders found a man and a woman dead. Sources identify the victims as Rob and Michele Reiner. Officials have not confirmed the identity of the deceased or any account of what happened.
Rob and Michele met while he was directing When Harry Met Sally…, one of several well-known films associated with his career, including The Princess Bride (1987), When Harry Met Sally… (1989), Misery (1990) and A Few Good Men (1992).
The couple married in 1989 and had three children, including Nick.
Nick has previously spoken publicly about long-running struggles with addiction that began in his teens and later led to a period of homelessness.
In a statement obtained by Variety, the Reiner family said: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”
