Director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead Sunday in their Los Angeles home, sources told CBS News, in what police called an apparent homicide.

Rob Reiner was 78 and Michele Reiner was 68.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” his family said in a statement obtained by Variety.

Firefighters were called to a Brentwood home Sunday afternoon, where they found two bodies. Authorities did not immediately explain the circumstances surrounding their deaths. The Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement that the Robbery Homicide Division responded to the home, but did not provide further details on the investigation other than to say it was an “apparent homicide.”

In a news conference Sunday night, police would not confirm the identities of the deceased.

Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Allen Hamilton said the LAPD was “not seeking anyone as a suspect, or as a person of interest or in any other manner, and we will not be doing that until we conduct our investigation and move forward.” Hamilton also noted LAPD has not identified a suspect “at this time.”

“No one has been detained … No one is being interviewed,” he said.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said in a statement Sunday night, “This is a devastating loss for our city and our country. Rob Reiner’s contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice. An acclaimed actor, director, producer, writer, and engaged political activist, he always used his gifts in service of others.”

The famed director was known for movies such as “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally…,” “A Few Good Men,” “Stand By Me” and “This is Spinal Tap.” Asequel“Spinal Tap II: The End Continues,” was released this fall. His wife was a photographer who took the photo of President Trump used on the cover of his book “The Art of the Deal,” according to Variety.

The couple married in 1989 and had three children.

Reiner, the son of legendary comedian and actor Carl Reiner, rose to fame playing Archie Bunker’s son-in-law, Michael Stivic, better known as “Meathead” on CBS’ “All in the Family.” Reiner won two Emmy awards for the role.
