Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department were summoned to the Brentwood residence on Sunday, December 14, after the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, discovered them dead. 

According to reports cited by PEOPLE, Rob, 78, and his wife Michele, 68, “were found dead by apparent homicide inside their Brentwood, Calif, home on Dec 14.”

The Los Angeles Fire Department previously informed NBC Los Angeles that a “78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman” were initially found deceased.

Due to the high-profile nature of the case, detectives from the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division were also at the scene, according to a spokesperson for the LAPD.

The street in front of the home was blocked off, and detectives were seen entering and exiting the residence.
