Unverified reports circulating on social media late Sunday claimed that legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead at their Los Angeles home.

As of publication, the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division has released no statement confirming these claims.

Law enforcement officials have not disclosed the identities of the deceased, the cause of death, or whether foul play is suspected. The investigation, if any, remains ongoing.
