President Donald Trump is blaming Rob Reiner’s outspoken opposition to the president for the actor-director’s killing, delivering the unsubstantiated claim in a post that seemed intent on decrying his opponents even in the face of a tragedy.

Figures from Hollywood and US politics have paid tribute and expressed shock after acclaimed director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead in their Los Angeles home. The film-maker, 78, and his wife, 68, were pronounced dead at a house in an upmarket neighbourhood of LA on Sunday. Their son Nick has been arrested.

From 'All in the Family' to regular news network advocacy to roles on 'New Girl' and 'The Bear,' Reiner grew, and grew righteously, in the small-screen spotlight.

"We've known them for many, many years," former First Lady Michelle Obama said of the couple and their friendship with she and former President Barack Obama.

Two prominent Republicans on Capitol Hill called out the president for his sick post about the murder of a beloved director.

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead on Dec. 14. Friends Billy Crystal and Larry David were seen at the family’s home. Crystal has called his friendship with Reiner a 'bromance,' while Reiner has raved about working with Crystal on movies like 1989 rom-com 'When Harry Met Sally.
