🔗 Share this article Homages Flow for Rob and Michele Reiner as Autopsy Reports Face a Security Hold. Over a fortnight after the tragic deaths of renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, peers and loved ones are still paying respects to the couple. A Heartfelt Farewell: Cary Elwes Pays Tribute to His Director Sharing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who starred in Reiner's beloved 1987 film *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he just recently felt ready to share openly about his profound loss. "Sufficient time has passed that I can now articulate my loss into words," posted Elwes, adding that his introductory moment with Reiner made him fall in love. "Once we started passing more hours together I understood this was someone I longed to have in my life." The actor posted archival material from the film, adding that he cannot recall "a single day without mirth". "The movie is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Things that Rob cherished deeply. This is one of the many reasons he was the perfect person to guide it," Elwes continued. He also paid tribute Michele Reiner, noting: "Claiming that they were a formidable pair would be an oversimplification. My heart still hurts every time I think of you." He ended with a phrase from *The Princess Bride*: "Indeed, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you." Martin Scorsese Recalls a Fellow Artist In a distinct essay, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese paid homage to Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s. "Immediately, I loved spending time with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was uproarious and sometimes sharply witty, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese shared. Scorsese highlighted Reiner's cameo appearance in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the main character. "He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a virtuoso at comedy, he worked seamlessly with his co-stars, and he comprehended the human predicament of his character," Scorsese added. Legal Developments: Autopsy Reports Withheld Recently, a Los Angeles superior court judge decided to bar the release of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, following a petition from the Los Angeles Police Department. A legal directive placed a restriction on the cases to restrict the public release of "any investigative information, documents, files or images" associated with the ongoing investigation. The relevant authority had already determined their deaths were the consequence of foul play, with a record listing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object". Response and Criticism Following the killings, public personalities shared varying comments. Former President Donald Trump wrote on the matter, offering provocative claims that were broadly criticized by many individuals. Podcaster Joe Rogan contributed his criticism to the critics recently. Talking on his podcast, Rogan labeled the comments as "shocking" and remarked they demonstrated a troubling lack of empathy. Rogan ended by suggesting that an aide could have intervened when the choice to comment on the passing was made.
