Los Angeles authorities are investigating the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife after they were discovered Sunday afternoon inside their residence on Chadbourne Avenue in Brentwood. According to multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation, Reiner, 78, and his wife, 68, were found deceased inside the home.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) confirmed that paramedics were dispatched to the residence at approximately 3:30 p.m. Upon arrival, emergency personnel confirmed the deaths and immediately notified the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Officers responded to the scene under what is classified as an “ambulance death investigation,” a term used when law enforcement is called to a location following the discovery of deceased individuals by fire or medical personnel.
The case has been assigned to the LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division, which is responsible for handling death investigations that require a specialized and detailed review. While several LAPD officials acknowledged awareness of the case, they declined to provide further details due to the ongoing nature of the investigation.
A significant police presence was observed at the residence Sunday evening as detectives conducted preliminary inquiries and secured the scene. Public property records confirm that the couple owns the residence, though authorities have not released an official statement linking the deaths to any named individuals.
At this time, no cause or manner of death has been disclosed, and investigators have not indicated whether foul play is suspected. Law enforcement officials have emphasized that additional information will be released as it becomes available, particularly following next-of-kin notifications and the results of the medical examiner’s review.
The discovery has prompted heightened attention in the Brentwood community, with neighbors expressing shock and concern. While the investigation is still in its early stages, authorities are urging the public to respect the privacy of those affected and to avoid speculation until official information is released.
Officials continue to maintain a secure perimeter around the property as forensic teams and detectives conduct thorough examinations of the scene, collecting evidence that may provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Updates are expected in the coming days as the investigation progresses.
