Reports suggest that Nick Reiner is no longer on s*icide watch at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles, via PEOPLE, according to a Los Angeles County sheriff source.
Nick Reiner removed from suicide watch
When Nick was processed into the jail on December 15th morning, he was quickly put under increased supervision. The 32-year-old is now in solitary confinement, where he must wear a yellow jail-issued shirt and blue pants, according to reports.
The facility has since taken away the suicide-prevention smock he was required to wear at all times. A sheriff’s source states that Nick will remain in High Observation Housing (HOH) unless a judge or court orders his release, and he will continue to be monitored and kept alone.
Nick now faces two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his parents, director Rob Reiner, 78, and photographer Michele Singer Reiner. Prosecutors have also filed a special allegation that a knife was used in the killings. The married couple was found dead inside their Brentwood, Los Angeles, home on December 14th.
As per The New York Times, the couple’s daughter, Romy, went to the Los Angeles home after receiving a call from a massage therapist who was unable to gain access to the property.
After arriving and discovering her father’s body, Romy allegedly fled the home, the outlet reported. She was later informed by a paramedic that her mother, Michele, had also been found dead inside.
In the years leading up to their passing, there were signs of concern at the Reiners’ home. Police previously responded to welfare-check calls at the Los Angeles residence, records obtained by PEOPLE on January 2nd show.
In 2019, officers went to the home twice while their son Nick was living there — once for a call coded as a welfare check and once for a call classified as mental health–related.
