Entertainment outlet TMZ said the bodies were found on Sunday afternoon by the couple\u2019s daughter, who told police another family member had killed them.<\/p>\n
Reiner, the son of legendary comedian Carl Reiner, started his showbiz career in acting.<\/p>\n
He won fame as the oafish son-in-law Michael \u201cMeathead\u201d Stivic on the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom, All in the Family, before transitioning to directing. Even while leading behind the camera, he often appeared in cameo roles in his own films.<\/p>\n
But it was as a director that he struck Hollywood gold.<\/p>\n
His output included classic films like 1984\u2019s rock music mockumentary This is Spinal Tap, fantasy gem The Princess Bride from 1987, and the 1992 courtroom drama A Few Good Men, as well as seminal coming-of-age movie Stand By Me, and When Harry Met Sally.<\/p>\n
A Few Good Men, starring Hollywood heavyweights Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson, earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.<\/p>\n

Entertainers and politicians paid tribute to the beloved film-maker following his death.<\/p>\n
Actor-director Ben Stiller described Rob Reiner as \u201ca kind caring person who was really really funny,\u201d and someone who \u201cmade some of the most formative movies for my generation\u201d.<\/p>\n
Former Democratic President Barack Obama said he and his wife, Michelle, were \u201cheartbroken\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBeneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people,\u201d Obama said on X.<\/p>\n
California Governor Gavin Newsom said Reiner had \u201cmade California a better place\u201d.<\/p>\n
Donald Trump, meanwhile, unleashed an extraordinary broadside, suggesting that Reiner brought on his own murder by criticising the US President.<\/p>\n
Trump claimed the Reiners had died \u201creportedly because of the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as \u201dTRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession,\u201d the Republican leader wrote.<\/p>\n
The comments were blasted by two prominent right-wing Republicans, including Representative Thomas Massie, who called them \u201cinappropriate and disrespectful\u201d.<\/p>\n
Reiner was politically active, an outspoken supporter of progressive causes, and had warned that Trump was mounting an authoritarian takeover.<\/p>\n
