On April 24, Jake Reiner just dropped the raw essay on his sub-stack about the gut-wrenching moment he learned both his parents, Rob and McKelle died. On December 14, they were found lifeless in their Brentwood home in Los Angeles. Sister Romy discovered their dad first and called cops, who then found their mom. Their younger brother Nick got arrested and hit with murder charges. Jake was at Union Station that Sunday for a celebration of life for one of his close friends when Romy rang him up. First call. Minus later, second call, mom too. He jumped in a 45-minute lift ride across town, mying completely numb, just laser-focused on getting home to his sister and sorting out the… Chaos. That ride felt endless, like everything he knew shattered in seconds. He says nothing preps you for losing both parents at once, still wakes up each morning forcing himself to accept it's real, not some nightmare. Keeps thinking how scared they must have been, and how they deserve nothing but love,

after giving so much to their kids and everyone around them. Leading up to it, Nick and Rob had a blowout argument at a party Conan O'Brien hosted on December 13th. Witnesses said Nick was acting wild, freaking folks out, asking if people were famous, leaving guests and parents uneasy. Nick's locked up now, pleading not guilty as the case moves forward. Nick may clear, this is his side, Romeo will tell hers when she's ready, and the family's left picking up these shattered pieces.
