Rob and Michele Reiner’s death reports have been sealed by court order, which was “initiated by” the Los Angeles Police Department.
On Monday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner posted a press release stating that although Michele and Rob’s cause of death reports were already made public, they have removed them.
“While the cause and manner of death were previously released on these cases, due to the court order, the information is no longer available. No other case information or records, including the Medical Examiner report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice,” the press release stated, noting that a “security hold” has been placed for the time being.
The press release stated that the Medical Examiner’s department received the court order on December 24 at 10:30 am.
The Medical Examiner’s office noted that more information will be shared once the court order has been lifted.

“He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, that being a knife,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said during a press conference. “These charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, or the death penalty.”
No decision has been made on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.
Nick made his first court appearance in the case on Dec. 17, where his lawyer, famed defense attorney Alan Jackson, requested a continuance. His arraignment is now set for Jan. 7.
