LOS ANGELES — A homicide investigation is underway after police said Sunday that two people had been found dead at the home of film director Rob Reiner.
Authorities have yet to identify the deceased, but law enforcement sources told NBC News that a man and a woman, ages 78 and 68, were found after paramedics were called to the Brentwood home on the west side of L.A. around 3:30 p.m. Sunday. A few minutes later police officers were dispatched.
Police described the case as “an apparent homicide.” The LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division responded to the home, which they described as Reiner’s.
The street where Reiner’s home is located was blocked off with caution tape, and several police cars were stationed in the area on Sunday evening.
Reiner, 78, is a longtime actor and director known for his films “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally,” and “A Few Good Men,” which was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture.
Reiner is married to producer Michele Singer Reiner, 68, and they share three children. He also adopted a child from his first marriage to ex-wife Penny Marshall.
This year, Reiner appeared in four episodes of the Hulu TV show “The Bear” and in “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,” which he also directed.
NBC News has reached out to a representative for Reiner for comment.
