As we previously reported, Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and wife Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death in their homes on Sunday afternoon.

While details remain scarce, police say Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, appear to have had their throats slashed.

It’s unclear if an arrest has been made, but the couple’s daughter reportedly told police that her 32-year-old brother, Nick Reiner, should be treated as a suspect.

The 2015 film Being Charlie — co-written by Nick and directed by Rob — was based on Nick’s experiences as a homeless heroin addict.

“It’s not my life. [But] I went to a lot of these places, so I had a lot of these stories,” Nick told People magazine in a 2016 interview about the film.

“I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas,” he said at the time.

“I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun.”

Nick explained that his family insisted he return to rehab, but he fled the state instead so that he could get sober “[his] own way.”

If I wanted to do it my way and not go to the programs they were suggesting, then I had to be homeless,” Nick explained. 

He went on to state that he had since returned home and reconciled with his family.

“That made me who I am now, having to deal with that stuff,” he said, adding: 

“I met crazy great people there, so out of my element. Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family. But there was a lot of dark years there.

“When I was out there, I could’ve died. It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it.”

Being Charlie was not a success with critics or audiences, and it seems to be Nick’s only attempt at entering the film industry.

No member of the Reiner family has spoken publicly about the tragedy that unfolded on Sunday.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
