Overview
- Death certificates state both victims died of multiple sharp-force injuries inflicted with a knife, recording discovery times at 3:45 and 3:46 p.m. on December 14.
- The documents note the interval from the attack to death was only minutes, and the manner of death was ruled homicide.
- The couple were cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary, with eldest son Jake listed as the informant and receiving their remains.
- Daughter Romy discovered the bodies after the couple could not be reached, as separate LAPD records show multiple prior calls to the Brentwood home for welfare and disturbance checks.
- Nick Reiner made an initial court appearance without entering a plea and faces potential life without parole or the death penalty, while a memorial is being planned and tributes continue, including a New York Times op-ed by Martin Scorsese.
