Rob Reiner's Daughter Found Dad's Body After Massage Therapist Called Her, Didn't Know Mom Was Also Dead in House: Report  By Amy McCarthy 217

Romy Reiner, the daughter of slain actor-director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, was unaware that her mother was also dead inside the Los Angeles home where she discovered the body of her father, according to a new report.

Romy, 27, arrived at Rob and Michele’s Brentwood home on the afternoon of Sunday, Dec. 14, after she was contacted by a massage therapist who was unable to access the property, the New York Times reported.

After she arrived at the home and discovered her father’s body, Romy allegedly “fled” the home without knowing that her mother Michele was also dead inside, the outlet reported.

She was later told by a paramedic that Michele had been killed, a source close to the family told the Times.

PEOPLE previously reported that Romy discovered Rob’s body on Sunday afternoon, hours before her brother Nick was located by police and arrested near the University of Southern California campus at about 9:15 p.m. that evening. Nick was not at home at the time of the discovery.

Romy is the youngest of Rob and Michele’s three children together, along with brothers Nick, 32, and Jake, 34.

Nick was charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special allegation of using a knife on Tuesday, Dec. 16, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced in a press release. If convicted, he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.

“Prosecuting cases involving family violence are some of the most challenging and heart-wrenching we face because of the intimate and often brutal nature of the crimes,” Hochman said in a statement. “Rob Reiner was one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. His murder and his wife of more than 35 years, Michele Singer Reiner’s murder, are shocking and tragic. We owe it to their memory to pursue justice and accountability for the lives that were taken.”
