Rob Reiner's son Nick was taken into custody, US media reported Monday, December 15, after the famed Hollywood director and his wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home. CBS and ABC said Nick Reiner had been arrested, and the Los Angeles Times reported he was booked into the Los Angeles County jail on suspicion of murder, citing jail records.
The American director of When Harry Met Sally and Princess Bride and his wife, Michele Singer, were found dead on Sunday at their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. A law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed that Reiner and Singer were the victims.
Los Angeles deputy police chief Alan Hamilton had said earlier they were seeking to interview "every family member" of the 78-year-old actor-director and his wife. The bodies were discovered Sunday and police said they were treating the case as an "apparent homicide."
As tributes poured in for Reiner, Donald Trump unleashed a crude broadside on the Hollywood icon, appearing to blame the deaths on the director's "raging" criticism of the US president.
