BBC News also said that Nick Reiner had been charged with a felony-level crime following his arrest. Rob Reiner and his son Nick during an interview in 2016 The Los Angeles Fire Department previously said it had responded to a medical aid request shortly after 3.30pm on Sunday afternoon, where a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman were found dead inside. Reiner and Singer’s deaths were subsequently confirmed in a statement from their family to Variety , which read: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. “We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.” The son of the late entertainment legends Carl and Estelle Reiner, Rob Reiner began his career in entertainment in the late 1960s, eventually rising to fame for his work in the sitcom All In The Family, for which he won two Emmys. However, to many, Reiner will be best remembered for his work behind the camera, helming classic films like This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, Misery and When Harry Met Sally. Over the course of his film career, Reiner was nominated for Best Director at the Golden Globes on four occasions, for Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men and The American President. Reiner married Singer in 1989, after meeting her while working on When Harry Met Sally. The couple had three children; Jake, Nick, and daughter Romy. Reiner also became the adopted father of a daughter, Tracy Reiner, during his first marriage to the actor and film director Penny Marshall. Additional reporting by AP . Related...
