LOS ANGELES - American actor-director and political activist Rob Reiner and his photographer-producer wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Dec 14, and police detectives are investigating the circumstances as an apparent homicide, city officials said.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom each released statements confirming that Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer, 68, had died.

“This is a devastating loss for our city and our country,” Ms Bass wrote. “Rob Reiner’s contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice.”

Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) deputy chief Alan Hamilton on Dec 14 evening told reporters that LAPD patrol officers, who were called to the home on Dec 14, discovered two bodies inside the residence.
