New Details Emerge on Nick Reiner Following the Tragedy – His Parents Would’ve Wanted ‘Empathy’

More information has come out regarding Nick Reiner’s current state, as he is facing murder charges in the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner.

TMZ reports that Nick is “not been able to process” his actions fully.

“A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … Nick is not reeling in grief. Rather, he’s “in a fog”  … in no small part due to his medical condition and the meds he’s taking,” the outlet wrote. “Our source goes on to characterize Nick as “calm,” “cognizant,” and “dazed” — adding Nick isn’t even close to processing what happened.”


Rob and Michele Reiner ‘Tried So Hard’ To Help Nick Reiner

When speaking with PEOPLE, one insider has provided some additional details on the efforts Rob and Michele went to to help their son, Nick, with his substance abuse struggles. Specifically, they “tried so hard already for years” to help Nick, but he “didn’t take the support seriously.”

Another insider told the outlet, “At the end of the day, Nick didn’t take the help seriously. This was true for years and years. His issues were far, far out of his parents’ control.”

“Nick lied a lot. He was unreliable, but he was also convincing and intelligent,” the insider added. “His family was empathetic to how much his struggles contributed to his behavior. They never lost hope in him, even when he was scaring them or making their lives harder.”


Rob & Michele’s Bodies Have Been Released To The Family

Following their tragic deaths on December 14, Rob and Michele’s bodies have been released from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s, TMZ reports.

“The Reiners’ bodies have been released to the family,” the outlet wrote. “Details on a service will be released at a later time.”

It has been previously reported that an incident between Rob and his son Nick first began at Conan O’Brien’s Holiday Party the night before he and his wife were found dead. But now, more information has come out, specifically regarding how the comedian played a part.

“They got in an argument, the father and son [at the party]. It got so bad and loud [that] someone wanted to call the police to report it,” an insider told the Daily Mail. “But Conan stepped in and said, ‘It’s my house, my party, I’m not calling the police.’ He talked them out of calling the police.”

Another source told the outlet something similar, saying that “the conversation was about getting this kid put into a mental-health hold.”

“It makes sense,” they added. “Who wants the cops showing up, creating a scene? But the argument between Rob and Nick was pretty intense.”

  2. Hopefully, there’s a lesson to be learned by other caring parents. When your adult son or daughter is out of control on drugs, you call the police yourselves, and be sure to lock all the doors.

  3. All this says in the end conan O’Brien is implicated in their deaths! Had he done what he should have they might be alive? Another case where a famous person is above the law and no one will take O’Brian into custody. He should be charged as an accessory, prosecuted and jailed!!!

    • You are wrong! Conan was a neighbor and a friend, as such he probably had knowledge of their family’s personal struggles. Obviously no one thought there would be that type of violence. Conan was letting the father decide how he (Rob) wanted to handle it. No one believes their child will kill them, especially the neighbors. This is a tragic thing that happened and my heart goes out to all involved.

  4. Having first-hand experience with a person’s mental health crisis, I can tell you that the police might take someone to the hospital, but it is very likely the person would be released in a few hours. It is extremely difficult to predict violence of this magnitude.
