Nick Reiner<\/a> was placed into a mental health conservatorship for one year, which may have resulted from an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization … according to The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NYC’s newspaper of record published its findings Thursday … citing Steven Baer, a licensed fiduciary who was Nick’s appointed conservator, and a clerk for the Los Angeles County Superior Court. However, they did not provide any details beyond confirming Nick was in the conservatorship in 2020.<\/p>\n

Reiner was placed in an LPS conservatorship — a type of conservatorship initiated by a doctor which usually follows an involuntary psychiatric hospitalization — sometime in 2020. This is a different kind of conservatorship than the ones celebs like Britney Spears<\/a> underwent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

An LPS (Lanterman-Petris-Short<\/a>) conservatorship typically lasts one year, but the conservator is allowed to file for a renewal. It’s unclear why Nick’s conservatorship wasn’t renewed after the initial one-year term. It ended in 2021, according to the NYT, citing the clerk.<\/p>\n

We broke the story … Nick, now 32 years old, had schizophrenia<\/a> … we know that around 2020 Nick was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder<\/a> — a mental illness with symptoms that include delusions, hallucinations, mania and severe depression.<\/p>\n

Meds he was taking in the months leading up to the deaths of his parents, Rob<\/a> and Michele<\/a> Reiner, were effective … but also led to weight gain<\/a>, our sources say. Doctors changed Nick’s meds … which caused his behavior to become more erratic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death<\/a> in their Los Angeles home in December. Nick was arrested<\/a> and charged with their murders<\/a> — but, due to the recent withdrawal<\/a> by his lawyer Alan Jackson<\/a>, his arraignment isn’t scheduled to take place until next month.<\/p>\n
