(11,790 posts)Especially if one of the owners of the house is a well known, 78 year old male.

Brother Buzz
(39,566 posts)I was only mentioned the rumors Rob Reiners death have repeatedly cropped up on the internet with no corroborating story, like someone was punking him.
Two bodies found in his home, one the right age, is all we have to march with at this time; Im afraid its not looking good.

(12,823 posts)Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood home owned by director and actor Rob Reiner, multiple law enforcement sources told NBCLA.
The LA Fire Department said a man and a woman were found deceased inside, approximately 78 and 68 years old.
LAPD Robbery Homicide Division detectives were assigned to the case. Several other LAPD officials said they were aware of the investigation but could not share any information.
There is a large police presence at the home Sunday evening.

(2,272 posts)wouldn't be unusual to call out medics initially for a death investigation
and that appears to be what happened
paramedics responded first and then police were called to the scene
milestogo
(22,568 posts)When I first saw that the Fire Dept was reporting I assumed that the people in the home had died in a fire.

(29,172 posts)but it could still turn out to be something like carbon monoxide. I hope for an awful accident and not violence.
Wiz Imp
(8,937 posts)This was not carbon monoxide poisoning.
dflprincess
(29,172 posts)I was hoping it wouldn't be violence.
Wiz Imp
(8,937 posts)The initial articles all pointed out that it was being investigated by the Homicide Division. So all of the reporting made clear from moment one that it was believed to be a homicide.
Cha
(316,726 posts)it Rob and Michelle Reiner were not there at the time.
And how did the couple die?
BlueWaveNeverEnd
(12,823 posts)Cha
(316,726 posts)would have said if it were Rob Reiner and Michelle... but Rob Reine is 78.
So I should have had a question mark after my assumption they were not at their home.
Ms. Toad
(38,248 posts)Reiner is 78 and his wife is 68.
Cha
(316,726 posts)old Rob Reiner is.
I thought wrongly that the investigators would have said if they were Rob and his wife Michelle.

Though I can't imagine how People could report it if they didn't have some solid sources for it.

Im also seeing a lot on FB and now X regarding his son transitioning to a woman, but I cant find that in a reputable news source.

(11,495 posts)He forsaw that with the advent of television and other electronic media, people would start hearing of shocking or tragic events from around the world, instead of just being aware of those in their local communities. As a result, even though such events may be happening no more frequently on a per capita basis than in the past, or even far less frequently, we develop an impression that horrible things are happening all the time, and can even fall into a state of continual, low or not-so-low -grade trauma.
