The death certificates for Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner reveal they died minutes apart on December 14 from multiple stab wounds. Because Rob was found first, his certificate lists him as “married,” while Michele’s heartbreakingly lists her as “widowed.”
Their son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with prosecutors considering the death penalty. Tributes have poured in from across film and politics, including an on-air homage from Saturday Night Live, as the family mourns a devastating loss.
