What was in Rob and Michele Renier’s death certificates?
According to TMZ, Rob and Michele Reiner died of “multiple sharp force injuries” inside their Los Angeles home caused “with [a] knife, by another.” The time between the onset of injuries and death is listed as “minutes.” Rob’s death was listed at 3:45 p.m., and Michele, who is listed as “widowed,” was discovered at 3:46 p.m. Their bodies were cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary after the autopsies were completed.
People confirmed that the bodies of Rob and Michele Reiner have been returned to their families, per the Los Angeles County Examiner’s Office. An autopsy has been performed on the bodies, but a full report will not be available until 90 days. TMZ reported that the final resting place is in their son, Jake’s home.
The Daily Mail reported that friends of the family held a private memorial service a day after news broke, in a nod to Jewish tradition that a funeral should be held within one day of the death itself.
Their son Nick Reiner was arrested and is being held in downtown LA jail and has been booked for the murder. Nick is charged with two counts of first degree murder is reportedly facing life in prison without the possibility of parole or, due to “special circumstances,” even the death penalty if he is found guilty. The death penalty is not common in California, but the possibility is still on the table. Currently, Nick Reiner is being treated as a suicide risk.
