Two people were found dead at the Los Angeles home of actor-director-producer Rob Reiner, with law enforcement treating the deaths as an apparent homicide, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said on Sunday (14 December).
The LAPD provided no details about the identities of the deceased. However, a Los Angeles Fire Department official told Reuters that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead at a mansion in the Brentwood area of West Los Angeles, at an address linked in public records to Reiner.
Aerial footage from local ABC affiliate KABC showed investigators at the property, carrying out what appeared to be a thorough examination of the scene.
Reiner, 78, first rose to fame in the 1970s as the character Meathead on the CBS sitcom "All in the Family". He later established himself as a director, with well-known films including "The Princess Bride", "This Is Spinal Tap"," When Harry Met Sally", "Stand by Me", and "The American President."
The home is shared with his wife of more than 30 years, Michele Singer Reiner, 68, a photographer and occasional actor known for taking the portrait of Donald Trump featured on the cover of Trump: The Art of the Deal.
The LAPD has not released information on any suspects or a possible motive. Investigators are focused on determining the circumstances of the deaths, which are being treated as a homicide.
Reiner, born in New York City, is the son of comedian and writer Carl Reiner, creator of "The Dick Van Dyke Show." He was previously married to the late Penny Marshall, director and star of Laverne & Shirley.
