Rob Reiner's Son Had Schizophrenia Meds Changed Before Parents' Deaths, Sources Report

Source

Nick Reiner, son of director Rob Reiner, reportedly had his schizophrenia medication adjusted before being charged with his parents' murder. A look into the tragic case, his ongoing struggles, and the family's plea.

A Reported Change in Treatment

Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son charged with the murders of his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, reportedly had his medication for schizophrenia changed or adjusted prior to their deaths. According to multiple sources cited by NBC4 Los Angeles and The Los Angeles Times, this adjustment preceded the tragic events of December 14.

Sources told NBC4 that Nick, who was diagnosed years ago, had been actively treating the condition. While they confirmed a recent change to his medication, a specific timeframe was not provided. Nick Reiner faces two counts of first-degree murder and could receive life in prison or the death penalty if convicted. His parents were found dead in their Brentwood, California, home.

A History of Struggle and Current Condition

TMZ was the first to report on Nick's schizophrenia diagnosis. His struggles aren't new; he has spoken publicly in the past about battles with drug addiction and homelessness that began in his teens. Following his arrest on Dec. 14, he was placed on suicide watch at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles.

A police source informed PEOPLE magazine that medical staff diagnosed him with a "mental disability" upon his arrival. "While he is on suicide watch, a supervisor checks on him every 15 minutes to ensure his safety," the source said. "He remains alone in his cell and communicates very little." Reiner is being held in solitary confinement and wore a suicide prevention smock to his first court appearance on Dec. 17. His arraignment is scheduled for January 7, 2026.

"Unimaginable Pain": A Plea from the Family

In a joint statement to PEOPLE, Nick's siblings, Jake Reiner, 34, and Romy Reiner, 28, shared their profound grief. "Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day," they said. "They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends." The siblings asked for privacy and for "speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity."

PRISM Insight: PRISM Insight: The Reiner case sits at the difficult intersection of celebrity tragedy, criminal justice, and mental health. The immediate focus on a medication change highlights a growing, yet often oversimplified, public narrative linking mental health treatment adjustments to violent acts. This challenges the media to report responsibly, avoiding the creation of a causal link where one has not been legally or medically established, and to prevent the further stigmatization of mental illness on a global stage.
