LOS ANGELES, CA Dec 15, 2025 – Authorities in Los Angeles are investigating a shocking discovery after two individuals were found dead inside a luxurious Brentwood mansion owned by acclaimed actor, director, and political activist Rob Reiner, Fox News has learned.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) responded to the upscale residence in the affluent Brentwood neighborhood around 1:30 a.m. local time following a welfare check call, sources close to the investigation told Fox News. Upon arrival, officers discovered the bodies of a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman inside the property. Preliminary reports indicate the deaths are being treated as a possible homicide, with homicide detectives and forensic teams now on scene combing the area for evidence.
While official identifications have not been released by authorities, the ages of the victims closely match those of Reiner, who turned 78 in July, and his wife of nearly four decades, Michele Singer Reiner, who is 68. Reiner, best known for his iconic role as “Meathead” on the 1970s sitcom All in the Family and for directing films like The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally, has long been a prominent figure in Hollywood and a vocal liberal advocate on issues ranging from environmentalism to political activism.
Social media erupted shortly after the initial reports, with users on X (formerly Twitter) drawing immediate connections to the Reiners. One post from a caregiver account claimed the victims suffered from “knife wounds,” though this has not been corroborated by official sources. Others speculated on motives, with political undertones surfacing amid Reiner’s outspoken criticism of former President Donald Trump and support for progressive causes. “Shocking end for a Hollywood icon – California’s crime wave catches up to the elite,” one user wrote, echoing broader debates on urban safety in Los Angeles.
This incident comes amid a spike in high-profile crimes in Los Angeles, where property crimes and homicides have risen in recent years, fueling national conversations on public safety and law enforcement policies. The LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division is leading the probe, with the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office expected to conduct autopsies to determine the exact causes of death.
