"Director-actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were the two people found dead Sunday at a Los Angeles home owned by Reiner, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The official could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Investigators believe they suffered stab wounds and a family member is being questioned by investigators, the official said."
"Reiner was long one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood, and his work included some of the most memorable movies of the 1980s and '90s, including This is Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride. His role as Meathead in Norman Lear's 1970s TV classic All in the Family, alongside Carol O'Connor's Archie Bunker, catapulted him to fame and won him two Emmy Awards."
"Norman often referred to Rob as a son, and their close relationship was extraordinary, to us and the world, said a Lear family statement. Norman would have wanted to remind us that Rob and Michele spent every breath trying to make this country a better place, and they pursued that through their art, their activism, their philanthropy, and their love for family and friends."
Emergency responders found a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman dead inside a Brentwood residence after a medical aid request shortly after 3:30 p.m. Detectives with the Robbery Homicide Division investigated an apparent homicide at the home. Investigators believe the victims suffered stab wounds and a family member was being questioned. Los Angeles authorities had not yet publicly confirmed the identities at the scene. Rob Reiner was a prolific director and actor known for films such as This Is Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride, and for his Emmy-winning role on All in the Family. Messages to Reiner's representatives were not immediately returned.
