The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a medical aid call at the residence around 3:30 p.m. and discovered the bodies of a man, approximately 78, and a woman, approximately 68 — ages matching those of Reiner and his wife.
Sources told TMZ the couple suffered multiple knife wounds. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating the deaths as a homicide.
Authorities have not officially confirmed the identities of the deceased or released details on the cause of death.
Reiner, 78, gained fame as Michael “Meathead” Stivic on the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom “All in the Family,” earning two Emmy Awards. He later directed classic films including “This Is Spinal Tap,” “The Princess Bride,” “Stand by Me,” “When Harry Met Sally…” “Misery” and “A Few Good Men.” He also appeared in Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” as the father of Leonardo DiCaprio’s character.
Reiner was born Jewish and has spoken in past interviews about maintaining a cultural connection to Judaism, observing some Jewish holidays, though he described himself as not religious.
He met Singer, a photographer, while directing When Harry Met Sally…. The couple married in 1989 and had three children: Jake, Nick and Romy.
The investigation remains ongoing.
BDE. HYD.
That goes for any Yid regardless of motive for murder.
Baruch Dayan Haemes!
I’m judging these two Tinokos Shenishbu, but this horrific ending of a life lived void of Torah ideals should strengthen our resolve to live as Torah true Jews. The Jews who left Yiddishkeit have no nachas from their children. Let’s appreciate the beauty of Torah life. It beats even the most successful secular lifestyle, besides the chance to merit Olom Habah. The Assimilated Jews are missing out on the treasure the Torah lifestyle is.
Rather than attack the Reiners let’s approach this from a Torah perspective. Probably their horrific demise will serve as an atonement for their sins and they’ll be able to enter Olam Habo. We can’t serve as Hashem’s prosecutors. Quite possibly they did something good or perhaps they’re being rewarded for the joy that Mr. Reiner’s work gave to so many. There’s no way for us to judge others.
There’s a cool video of his father speaking Yiddish.
In Australia they want to ban guns.
Make the already strict gun laws stricter after this.
It’s like saying They should Ban knives in LA because they also kill.
It’s the person behind the gun…. it’s the person behind knife.
“Is MISASKIM cleaning up?”
He survived TDS just to be knifed in his own house. Sad
He was a JINO Jew a name only he had petitions
going around in favor of the PALi( or Hamas )as they really are called
and was totally
anti-EY. so this is what you would call a traitor Thinking his political correctness would save him. I don’t think it would’ve saved him at Auschwitz and it would not have saved him at the nova festival in southern Israel.
His father was a meshumad. J for j.
Was his mother Jewish?
Still horrible
very liberal TDS sufferer
