Rob Reiner and his wife found dead in their Los Angeles home
UPDATE (10:35 AM): Nick Reiner, the son of Rob Reiner, has been arrested in connection to the deaths of his parents.
The filmmaker and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found dead in their home Sunday with stab wounds, a source close to the family told NBC News.
Reiner, 32, has a long history with drug addiction, which began in his teens.
He told people in an interview in 2016 that he spent periods of weeks sleeping rough on the streets, and was in and out of rehab for addiction treatment that started when he was 15.
It was not immediately known if Reiner has legal representation.
In a press conference Monday, Chief Jim McDonnell with the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the victims were Rob and Michele Reiner as well as talked about their son's arrest.
"Through the night working with the coroner's office they were able to identify them definitively as Rob and Michelle Reiner. We have our robbery-homicide division handling the investigation. They worked throughout the night working on this case and were able to take into custody Nick Reiner a suspect in this case. He was subsequently booked for murder and is being held on $4 million bail. Pretty much, that's what I can share at this point. But again a very, very tragic incident."
