What is Known So Far
According to People, Nick Reiner is at the center of the investigation. There is no official confirmation of his status from the Los Angeles police yet, but sources claim that he may be linked to the tragedy.
Preliminary reports indicate that the bodies of the 78-year-old director and his 68-year-old wife were discovered by their daughter Romy in their family home in Los Angeles.
