Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found slain to death after their masseuse showed up to help them “de-stress” on Sunday, December 14, according to the Daily Mail.
When the pair didn’t answer the door for their scheduled 2 p.m. appointment, the masseuse knocked multiple times and rang the bell before leaving, the outlet reported, which prompted the Reiners’ daughter, Romy, who lives across the street from their $13.5 million home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, to check on them.

Romy, 28, then found the bodies of her parents, who reportedly had their throats slit, and called 911. Her brother Nick, 32, was arrested and charged with the homicides.
As the National Enquirer previously reported, a houseguest fled the home before the murders because of Nick’s “insane” behavior, according to a source who described him as “a ticking time bomb.”
Rob, 78, and Nick had a “loud argument” at Conan O’Brien’s holiday party on Saturday, December 13, TMZ reported, adding that they argued again the next day, which resulted in the tragedy.

Michele, 68, reportedly told friends about her anguish over Nick’s continuing struggles with mental health and addiction, according to TMZ.
Nick is reportedly being held at Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles, with his bail set at $4 million.
