Two people have been found dead inside the Los Angeles home of famed director Rob Reiner.
Officers were called to the Brentwood home Sunday afternoon, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Post.
While it’s currently unclear who the victims are, the Los Angeles Fire Department told local outlet NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside the home, which match the ages of Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner.
We want to emphasize nothing has been confirmed. The news is, however, eerily reminiscent of the deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa. The couple were found deceased earlier this year in their Santa Fe home.

Others recalled Gene Hackman or wondered if this was a tragic accident.
I really hope this is bad info and is not true

if it's true, he has to be close to 80 now. I wonder if this could be a situation like Gene Hackman or a CO2 leak, etc. https://t.co/uOGotHQxsI
Los Angeles homicide police are on the scene, however.
RedState’s Jen Van Laar shared LAFD scanner audio that showed the initial call to Reiner’s home was for a cardiac arrest.
