UPDATE:
Rob Reiner’s son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested and booked after his parents were found dead in their Brentwood home on Sunday. He is being held on $4 million bail, according to police.

No suspect or person of interest was initially named after the 78-year-old legendary Hollywood director was discovered with his wife, Michele Reiner, 68, in their home on the 200 block of South Chadbourne Avenue around 3:40 p.m. Both had suffered stab wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.


ORIGINAL STORY:
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.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said it responded to a medical aid request shortly after 3:30 p.m. and found a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman dead inside. Reiner turned 78 in March.

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.”
