Resolution criteria

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home on Sunday, and their son Nick Reiner, 32, was taken into custody and is booked on suspicion of murder. This market resolves YES if the deaths are officially ruled a homicide by December 31, 2026. Resolution will be determined by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office official cause of death ruling, available at lacounty.gov/coroner. The market resolves NO if the deaths are ruled anything other than homicide (e.g., accident, natural causes, suicide) by the deadline.

Background

Rob Reiner first became famous on the Norman Lear television sitcom "All in the Family," playing Michael Stivic from 1971 to 1978 and winning two Emmys for the role. His films include classics such as "This Is Spinal Tap," "The Princess Bride," "Stand By Me," "Misery," "When Harry Met Sally…" and "The American President." Rob Reiner has been married to photographer Michele Singer Reiner since 1989, and they share three children: Jake, Nick and Romy.

Considerations

One of Rob's daughters found her parents dead and told police a family member had killed them. Nick Reiner is being held on $4 million bail, though the investigation remains ongoing. The coroner's official ruling may take several months, and the market deadline of 2027 provides sufficient time for the cause of death determination.
