Rob Reiner's son becomes center of investigation after deadly incident

Hollywood icon Rob Reiner’s drug-addicted son Nick Reiner, was heard in a loud argument with the couple, the night before the day when the dead bodies were found.

According to the US media reports, The “very loud argument” between Nick and his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, on Saturday. According to The New York post, Nick “freaked out” everyone at the party and left the Reiners terrified of what Nick would do next.

According to sources, the bitter blowout that occurred fewer than 24 hours before the Hollywood director and his wife were found dead at their Brentwood . This incident confirmed that Nick was back on drugs and was refusing yet another go at treatment after at least 17 stints in rehab since age 15.

In a interview with PEOPLE magazine, a source noted, “Nick was freaking everyone out, acting crazy, kept asking people if they were famous”.

A family friend of Reiners, who lives near their home, told The New York Post that after the argument at Conan’s holiday party, the “When Harry Met Sally” director had been telling people that the family was scared for Nick and scared that his mental state was deteriorating.

“Nick was supposedly off drugs,” but then talk surfaced that he was “not so much off them,” the neighbour said. He also noted that the accused killer son, during his lowest point over the years, was “badly addicted to a combo of opiates and heroin”.

Another friend of the family said, “I know  the parents  wanted him to get help and go to rehab, but he wanted to get help while at home  he did not want to get treatment at a facility.

“Grief has now become my friend,” she said. “Grief is very weird to me. When you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with. And I’ll get used to it, I will. I have to, you know. Things move on”.
