\n\tOver a month after\u00a0American Idol<\/a>\u00a0supervisor Robin Kaye and her musician husband, Thomas Deluca,\u00a0were found dead in their Los Angeles residence, a cause of death has been revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to a death certificate obtained by\u00a0People<\/a>, Kaye and Deluca, both 70, died after suffering multiple gunshot wounds that they sustained on July 10. Their deaths were listed as a homicide.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlthough their death certificates report that the couple sustained their fatal injuries, which caused them to die within minutes of each other, on July 10, their date of death was originally recorded as July 14. People stated that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner\u2019s Office previously told the outlet that the couple was pronounced dead on July 14, which is the date authorities say Kaye and Deluca were found dead<\/a> in their Encino, California, home following a welfare check call.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe outlet also noted that although Kaye\u2019s death certificate, which was issued on July 23, originally stated that no autopsy was performed, documents show that autopsies were conducted for both Kaye and Deluca and used to determine their cause of death. People stated that the notation was corrected by an amendment filed on Aug. 4.<\/p>\n

\n\tThree days after police found the couple\u2019s bodies, Raymond Boodarian, 22, was charged<\/a> with two counts of murder with enhancements for killing the couple while committing a robbery, intentionally using a firearm, and committing multiple murders. Boodarian also faces a burglary charge.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, Boodarian appeared in court wearing a \u201csuicide gown\u201d Wednesday and was deferred to mental health court<\/a> for evaluation. A judge ordered Boodarian back into custody without bail and set a Sept. 3 hearing in mental health court. He said any arraignment on Boodarian\u2019s murder charges would have to wait until \u201che\u2019s deemed mentally competent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOfficials say Boodarian was burglarizing the Encino residence when the couple arrived home from a shopping trip and encountered him on July 10. He allegedly shot the couple multiple times with a gun located in the home before fleeing.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIn a matter of moments, this couple was senselessly killed in their own home as they returned from the grocery store,\u201d L.A. County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said in a previous statement. \u201cThis tragic shooting has shaken a valley community and the notion that home should be our safe sanctuary.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Over a month after\u00a0American Idol\u00a0supervisor Robin Kaye and her musician husband, Thomas Deluca,\u00a0were found dead in their Los…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97960,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[350,49,48,7562,17537,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-97959","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-american-idol","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-controversy","12":"tag-courts-and-crime","13":"tag-entertainment"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97959","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97959"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97959\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
