MADRID, December 15 (EUROPA PRESS) –
Director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, were found dead this Sunday at their residence in Brentwood, Los Angeles, United States, an event that police are investigating as an apparent homicide.
“It is with deep sadness that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss and ask for respect for our privacy during this incredibly difficult time,” announced a spokesperson for the family in a statement reported by the American television channel CNN.
The event took place shortly before 3:38 p.m. (local time), when Los Angeles firefighters received a notification of a medical emergency in the 200 block of South Chadbourd Avenue and found the director and producer, 78, and his wife, 68, dead.
The investigation is being conducted by the California City Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division, which said that so far “we are not looking for anyone as a suspect or in any capacity.” “We are going to try to speak to as many family members as possible to get the facts of this investigation,” Deputy Police Chief Alan Hamilton said at a news conference.
An agency spokesperson also told Vanity Fair magazine that the case being investigated was “an apparent homicide.”
The filmmaker, born in 1947 in the Bronx, New York, rose to fame in the 1970s. He was nominated for an Academy Award for his production of “A Few Good Men” and directed such well-known films as “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride.”
