00:00The son of filmmaker Rob Reiner was arrested on homicide charges after the director of beloved movies like When Harry Met Sally and his wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home.
00:13That's according to a police official Monday.
00:15Nick Reiner was being held in a Los Angeles County jail on a $4 million bond, according to jail records.
00:22Police said they found two bodies whom they did not identify at the Reiner's home Sunday afternoon in the L.A. neighborhood of Brentwood.
00:31Other officials confirmed the victims were Reiner and his wife, Michelle.
00:35Local media reported the couple had been stabbed to death.
00:39Tributes poured in for Reiner, who was also active in politics supporting liberal causes.
00:44Former President Barack Obama said in a post on X that
00:48Beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action.
00:57Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose.
01:01They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired.
01:06Reiner was best remembered for his role on the 1970s television comedy hit All in the Family as Mike Meathead Stivick, the son-in-law and liberal foil of the lead character.
01:17Reiner went on to have a prolific Hollywood career as a director, starting with rock mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap.
01:25Michelle Reiner was at one time a photographer who captured the image of Donald Trump that appears on the cover of his book Trump, The Art of the Deal.
01:34Trump said on social media that their deaths were reportedly due to the anger that Rob Reiner caused others
01:40through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as Trump derangement syndrome.
01:48The president's post drew criticism online from both Republicans and Democrats.
01:53Trump, who frequently lashes out at his opponents and praises public figures who support him,
01:59provided no evidence that Reiner's political views contributed in any way to the couple's death.
