Rob Reiner and his spouse’s reason for demise revealed

Rob and Michele Reiner’s cause of death has been formally revealed after their son, Nick Reiner, made his first court appearance in the double murder case.

The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner said that the cause of their deaths was ‘multiple sharp force injuries.’

Online records show the Hollywood legend and his photographer wife died on Sunday, the same day they were discovered in their $13.5 million mansion.

Both of their deaths have been ruled a homicide, with the place of death listed as their residence. Both of their bodies are ready for release.

Their son, Nick, was arrested on Sunday and has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of his 78-year-old father and 70-year-old mother.

Prosecutors added special circumstances of multiple murders and use of a dangerous weapon, a knife, meaning, if he is convicted, Nick could face life in prison without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty.

The 32-year-old made a brief court appearance on Wednesday, wearing an anti-suicide where he did not enter a plea.

Nick’s famous defense attorney, Alan Jackson, asked the judge for a continuance, saying he ‘needed more time’ to prepare his case.

When the judge asked blank-faced Nick ‘If he agreed that his arraignment should be continued, he answered, ‘Yes, you honor.’

His arraignment was pushed to January 7 and he was ordered to be held in jail without bail.

Jackson addressed the media after the hearing and asked people not to ‘rush to judgement’ about the case.  

‘This is a devastating tragedy that has befallen the Reiner family,’ Jackson said.

‘There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case. These need to be thoroughly and very carefully dealt with.

‘We ask that throughout this process you allow the system to move forward in the way that it was designed to move forward, not with a rush to judgment.’

This is a breaking news story.
