Hollywood woke up in disbelief after legendary filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead.
They were discovered in their Los Angeles home. Authorities are now treating the case as a suspected homicide.
Police and firefighters were called to the couple’s Brentwood residence on Sunday afternoon.
Inside, they discovered the bodies of a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman.
Officials haven’t shared details about how they died, and no arrests have been made.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” a family spokesperson said, asking for privacy as loved ones grieve.
Hollywood Mourns Reiner
Tributes poured in quickly. California Governor Gavin Newsom called Reiner a “big-hearted genius.”
Barack Obama praised his belief in “the goodness of people,” on and off screen.
Reiner’s impact on film is hard to overstate.
From This Is Spinal Tap to The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men, his work shaped generations of moviegoers.
The son of comedy icon Carl Reiner, he also co-founded Castle Rock Entertainment.
He recently reunited with Spinal Tap for a sequel released this year.
Michele Reiner, an actress, photographer and producer, was a creative force in her own right.
As investigators search for clarity, one thing is certain: the curtain has fallen on two lives that left an unforgettable mark.
And Hollywood, once again, is left asking—how could this happen?
