WEB DESK: Iconic Hollywood director and actor Rob Reiner, the mastermind behind the 1980s classic “This Is Spinal Tap,” was found dead along with his wife at his residence.
Two people were found dead at the Los Angeles home of actor-director-producer Rob Reiner, with law enforcement officials investigating the circumstances in an apparent homicide, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement on Sunday.
Sources told the media outlet that the two suffered lacerations consistent with a knife.
However, the LAPD gave no details about the identities of the two deceased individuals. But a Los Angeles Fire Department official said earlier that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead at a home in west Los Angeles at an address that public records linked to Reiner.
Reiner, 78, co-starred in the 1970s hit CBS television comedy “All in the Family” and directed several well-known movies, including “The Princess Bride,” “This is Spinal Tap,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “Stand by Me” and “The American President.”

Family members confirmed that Garcia passed away early Wednesday morning at age 48 after being taken off life support at a Southern California hospital.
