After the death of director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, the Los Angeles police began an intensive investigation. It is said that the 32-year-old son of the killed couple, Nick Reiner, is under suspicion.
The police have already questioned him. There has been no official confirmation from the authorities yet, but US media are reporting that there is strong suspicion of murder. Nick Reiner is considered a “person of interest”; However, there have been no arrests so far.
Although Rob Reiner and his wife Michele made many public appearances and were also active in philanthropy, their son Nick and his siblings remained in the background. What is known, however, is that Nick struggled with drugs for a long time.
Nick Reiner was addicted to drugs for a long time
Nick Reiner told People in 2016 that he became addicted at a young age and went through his first withdrawal at age 15. At the time of the interview he admitted to a total of 12 withdrawals.
In addition, he was homeless several times due to his drug problems. “I slept on the street at night, I spent weeks on the street. It wasn’t funny,” he explained to the celebrity magazine, adding that he was now “back home” in Los Angeles and living with his family.
As it is said, the relationship with father Rob Reiner was anything but rosy for a long time. However, the two of them managed to get closer with the film “Being Charlie – Back to Life” (2015), directed by Reiner and for which the son wrote the script. The drama is based on Nick’s experiences as a drug addict.
