Rob Reiner and wife found dead (Robbery/Homicide)

Robbery Homicide was assigned to the case. Sadly I think it’s most likely Reiner and his wife.

Both potential scenarios surrounding this are awful.

This is absolutely awful. And the day after Dick Van Dyke's 100th birthday.

He had a great ten year run of classics.

From what I’ve seen of him, he always seemed like an empathetic, kind man.

Yeah This is Spinal Tap through A Few Good Men is one of the all time runs of bangers.

Speculation but seeing claims it was possibly his son's doing (apparently has mental issues and severe drug problems).

re: Rob Reiner and wife found dead (Robbery/Homicide)

The Princess Bride and Stand By Me are two of my all-time favorite movies. I grew up watching him on All in the Family. I appreciated his passion for his work and his outspokenness on his political views.

What a terrible way to go.

I was just texting with my dad about Spinal Tap today. What a terrible way to go.

I agree those are pretty great films and this isn’t the thread for debate, but I can think of better runs.

re: Rob Reiner and wife found dead (Robbery/Homicide)

Those five plus Spinal Tap and the Sure Thing (kind of lost to history these days) was a great first seven movies.

Nick co-wrote (and Rob directed) Being Charlie, a semi-autobiographical account of his substance abuse issues and his relationship with his dad.

Wooow. People on social media are mentioning his son like a suspect. Is his son "troubled"?

What a horrible way to go. We've lost a great talent, and a good person. This is just shocking and heartbreaking.

Drugs, mental illness, homelessness. People magazine has gone on record with multiple sources confirming he did it.
