Tragic Discovery: Hollywood Icon Found Dead at Home
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” a family spokesperson stated in a statement to US media. “We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.” Police confirmed that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were pronounced dead at the home, though the identities of the deceased were not immediately released. Officers responded to a call at approximately 15:38 local time (23:38 GMT) regarding medical assistance at the property, and robbery homicide detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department subsequently opened a homicide investigation. No arrests have been made, and police have stated that no suspect or person of interest is currently being sought.

A Legacy of Cinematic Genius
Legendary Hollywood film-maker and actor Rob Reiner is recognized for directing iconic films such as *The Princess Bride*, *This is Spinal Tap*, *When Harry Met Sally*, *Misery*, and *A Few Good Men*. More than six hours after police and firefighters responded to a call at the residence, both Rob Reiner and his wife, Annie, were confirmed to be deceased inside the house. Police officials have not yet released details regarding any injuries sustained by the couple, nor have they disclosed whether a weapon was involved. According to Mr. Reiner’s statement, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office will determine the cause of death.

National Outrage and Respect
Notably, he recently reunited with Spinal Tap for the long-awaited sequel, *Spinal Tap II: The End Continues*, which premiered this September. Reiner was celebrated for his iconic films, including *Stand By Me* (1986), *The Princess Bride* (1987), *When Harry Met Sally* (1989), *Misery* (1990), and *A Few Good Men* (1992), the latter of which earned him an Academy Award nomination for best picture. Former U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, also shared their sorrow, stating, “Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people - and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action.” The Obamas noted that together, Reiner and his wife “lived lives defined by purpose.”

A Heartfelt City’s Condolences
California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement expressing his “heartbreak” over the deaths, describing Reiner as a “big-hearted genius behind so many of the classic stories we love.” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass described the incident as a “devastating loss for our city and country,” and acknowledged the couple’s significant charity work focused on childhood development and LGBTQ+ advocacy.

A Family’s Devotion
In 1989, Robert Rosenfeld married Michele Reiner, an actress, photographer, and producer who also owned the Reiner Light photography agency and production house. The couple raised three children together.
