Rob And Michele Reiner's Death Certificates Have Some Heartbreaking Details

Death certificates have revealed more information surrounding the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner. The couple was killed in their home on December 14. Their son, Nick Reiner, is the main suspect and was quickly arrested. TMZ was able to get a copy of Rob and Michele's death certificates on December 23. The couple died from knife wounds described as "multiple sharp force injuries," but the details make their final moments even more tragic. According to the documents, the pair died within "minutes" of being stabbed. Rob's time of death is listed as 3:45 p.m., and Michele's as 3:46 p.m. As a result, the famed director was listed as married on the death certificate while his wife was listed as "widowed."

The same day of their murder, the Reiners' son Nick was arrested and charged with the killings. Multiple outlets reported that Nick has been on medication for schizophrenia and has lived with mental illness for years. In the days after his arrest, troubling reports surfaced about Nick, including one that he had gotten into a verbal altercation with his dad.

The day before Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner's deaths, the couple went to a party at Conan O'Brien's house and brought Nick Reiner along. Apparently, they had worried about their son's behavior and wanted to keep an eye on them while they visited the late night host's holiday get together. Nick was aggressive with multiple guests and asked multiple attendees the same questions. "What's your name? What's your last name? Are you famous?" was what he asked Bill Hader, per a report from The Wall Street Journal published December 16.

Nick's combative nature led to him and Rob exchanging words, as a close friend of the family recalled to The New York Post. "They had had an argument at Conan's holiday party, and Rob had been telling people that they're scared for Nick and scared that his mental state was deteriorating,” they told the outlet on December 15.

Besides Nick, Rob was survived by three other children, including his daughter Romy Reiner who discovered her parents' bodies on that fateful day. Romy's final Instagram before their deaths was heartbreaking considering what transpired afterwards. Just two weeks before their deaths, on December 1, Romy posted an Instagram carousel where she expressed gratitude. "Thankful for family, health, and followers of any age," she wrote in the caption.
