Two people were found dead in a Brentwood home owned by actor, director and producer Rob Reiner on Sunday, Dec. 14.
Crews responded around 3:40 p.m. to the 200 block of Chadbourne Avenue, where they found a 78-year-old man and a woman believed to be about 68 years old dead, said Margaret Stewart, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Fire Department. The call was for medical aid.
Information on the cause or causes of death was not immediately available.
Television news coverage showed a large police presence at the home, which is owned by Reiner, according to NBC LA.
The Los Angeles Police Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for information.
Reiner, known for acting in “All in the Family from 1971 to 1979,” later scored hits as a filmmaker with movies such as “This Is Spinal Tap,” “Stand By Me,” “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “Misery.” He also directed the military legal thriller “A Few Good Men” in 1992. His other explorations of powerful institutions included “Ghosts of Mississippi,” “Shock and Awe” and “LBJ.”
In 2023, his “Who Killed JFK” podcast — in collaboration with journalist Soledad O’Brien — was released. The production offered a theory on who was behind the assassination of President John Kennedy and perspective on how his death continues to affect America.
Last year, Reiner and his wife Michelle hosted a fundraiser at his residence attended by then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
