Heartbreakingly, the beloved couple's bodies were reportedly found by their daughter Romy Reiner, Nick’s sister.
The home, covered in holiday decorations, was immediately sealed off by investigators, but neighbors reported seeing close pals Billy Crystal and Larry David at the home after the news broke. Rob Reiner's assistant Rocco was also on hand to lend assistance as needed.
Nick has long spoken about a battle with substance abuse, and — in spite of his family's wealth — periods of being unhoused.
Nick co-wrote with Matt Elisofon the semi-autobiographical 2015 film "Being Charlie," which his dad directed. He told People at the time, “Now, I’ve been home for a really long time, and I’ve sort of gotten acclimated back to being in L.A. and being around my family."
The well-received film starred Nick Robinson of "Love, Victor"; Cary Elwes, who starred in Rob Reiner's classic "The Princess Bride"; and Common.
