Two bodies were found inside Rob Reiner's home Sunday, Fox News Digital can confirm. Per ABC7, Crystal was at the house briefly and "looked like he was about to cry." LA Mayor Karen Bass has confirmed that Reiner and his wife Michele have died.

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner have died, Fox News Digital can confirm. Rob and Michele were found dead Sunday inside their Brentwood-area home in California.

Reiner's son, Nick Reiner, was confirmed Monday as a suspect in the deaths of "The Princess Bride" director and his wife.

During a press conference on an unrelated matter held Monday, the Los Angeles Police Department brought up the deaths of the filmmaker and his wife. LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell admitted the information surrounding the deaths was limited. McDonnell also confirmed Reiner's son has been booked on suspicion of murder. He was being held on $4 million bail, but the option has since been revoked.

Investigators believe Rob and Michele suffered stab wounds, according to a law enforcement official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
