Rob and Michelle Reiner’s Death Reports Sealed
Reports regarding the deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner have been sealed by a court order, initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department.
On Monday, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office released a statement noting that the couple’s cause of death had been previously made public, but is no longer accessible due to a court decision.
According to the press release, “For these cases, the cause and manner of death had previously been made public, but due to court order, that information is no longer available. Until further notice, no other case information or records, including the coroner’s report, can be published or posted on the website.” The statement also mentioned that confidentiality is currently in effect.
The Medical Examiner’s office received this court order at 10:30 a.m. on December 24. They indicated that they would provide more details once the order is lifted.
Death Certificates Released
Fox News Digital has reached out to the LAPD for further comments.
On December 23, death certificates for Rob and Michelle were released. According to information obtained, the couple was cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary. The certificates confirmed that they died from injuries linked to multiple sharp impacts, suggesting the involvement of another person with a knife.
On December 14, police found their bodies in the master bedroom of their home in Brentwood, California. Nick Reiner, the couple’s son, was quickly identified as a person of interest and was arrested later that same day.
By December 16, Nick faced double murder charges due to the deaths of his parents, specifically charged with two counts of first-degree murder under circumstances involving multiple victims. Additionally, there is a special charge related to the personal use of a knife, which is considered a deadly weapon. Prosecutors have indicated that these charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Nick’s first court appearance was on December 17, where his lawyer requested a future proceeding. His arraignment is scheduled for January 7.
As it stands, a decision on whether to pursue the death penalty remains undecided.
