Two people have reportedly been found dead in a mansion owned by legendary filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner.
LAFD paramedics were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood at around 3:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, December 15. Minutes later LAPD officers were dispatched to the scene.
Neighbors said Reiner and his wife live in the home, and property records indicate they own the home. Multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA that the bodies of a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman had allegedly been discovered inside the home.

LAPD detectives reportedly told ABC7 the deaths were being investigated as a homicide as a large number of officers were at the home on Sunday evening. ‘Senior leadership’ of the LAPD is now said to be on the scene of the apparent murders.
Reiner became a household name as Michael Meathead Stivic, the outspoken son-in-law on Norman Lear’s All in the Family. The series ran for nine seasons beginning in 1971. His character often clashed with Archie Bunker, played by Carroll O’Connor.
After his run on All in the Family, Reiner shifted to becoming a full-time director. His first major success was This is Spinal Tap, a 1984 mockumentary that mocked rock bands. Reiner’s directorial career continued through the 1980s and 1990s.
The Los Angeles Times has reported that “there was no signs of forced entry into the home.” Speaking to media near the Reiner residence, LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton confirmed that no one has been detained in connection with the deaths as of yet, and also revealed that no one is being interviewed.
“Before we do anything, we have to get a search warrant,” he said, before adding, “We’re waiting for the legal process to move forward. We’re calling it a death investigation at this point.”
When Hamilton was asked if they have a “timeline of the murder,” he replied, “We have not established that yet.”
The Mirror has contacted Rob Reiner’s representative and LAPD for comment.
