In a recent development, the medical records of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, have been secured under a court order, as confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office. These documents will remain confidential “until further notice.”

According to a report by NBC 4 Los Angeles on Monday, December 29, the Los Angeles Police Department successfully sought this court directive to aid their ongoing investigation into the suspicious deaths of the celebrated When Harry Met Sally… director and his spouse.

“The LAPD moved to seal the medical examiner’s records related to Robert and Michele Reiner’s demise,” stated the LAPD in a communication with NBC 4. “Despite the public release of their causes of death, this order was crucial for allowing our Robbery-Homicide Division detectives to access essential details ahead of the media and public dissemination. It was not intended to hinder transparency.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office verified on Monday that it had complied with a court mandate received on December 24 to secure the Reiners’ medical records from public access.

In the days leading up to their tragic deaths, Rob and Michele Singer Reiner were seen at various public events and had engagements with numerous celebrity acquaintances. On Monday, December 15, Us Weekly confirmed through the Los Angeles police that the couple, aged 78 and 68 respectively, succumbed to what appeared to be stab wounds, leaving the public reeling from this unexpected and violent loss.

“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 statement said.

“The Department understands the public’s interest in these cases and remains committed to transparency when possible. Information will be made available once the court order is lifted,” the statement added.

People, which said it obtained a copy of the court order, reported on Monday that it bans “the public release of any investigative information, notes, reports, or photos” to anyone but “assigned investigators.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office previously confirmed that Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, died from “multiple sharp force injuries.”
