LOS ANGELES: Los Angeles police were investigating the deaths of Hollywood star Rob Reiner and his wife as an "apparent homicide", as condolences poured in for the director behind hits like "When Harry Met Sally". Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Los Angeles mansion with what appeared to be stab wounds, US media reported.
The deaths of the "Princess Bride" director and his wife drew condolences from California political heavyweights like ex-vice president Kamala Harris. Los Angeles police did not confirm the identity of the deceased but said homicide detectives were dispatched to the Reiners' home. "At this time, no further details are available as this is an ongoing... investigation, into an apparent homicide," the Los Angeles Police Department said on social media.
LAPD deputy chief Alan Hamilton subsequently told reporters "the Los Angeles Police Department is not seeking anyone as a suspect or as a person of interest, or in any other manner, and we will not be doing that until we conduct our investigation and we move forward". "I'm not going to confirm whether someone's being interviewed at this time or not. We're going to try to speak to every family member that we can to get to the facts of this investigation," he added. — AFP
