On Sunday evening, the Los Angeles Fire Department discovered two people dead at the home of director Rob Reiner. Initial reports from TMZ identified the victims as Rob and Lynette Reiner, and indicated they had suffered knife wounds. People magazine reported the deaths were likely caused by their son, Nick. However, LAPD detective Alan Hamilton stated that police have not yet identified any suspects or persons of interest, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Rob Reiner, son of comedian Carl Reiner, first gained fame playing Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, “Meathead,” on the TV show All in the Family. He went on to become a successful director, known for films like This Is Spinal Tap and When Harry Met Sally. He also founded Castle Rock Entertainment, the production company behind Seinfeld and numerous other film and television projects. Interestingly, his wife, singer and photographer Michele Singer, took the cover photo for Donald Trump’s book, The Art of the Deal.
