Homages Flow for the Reiners as Autopsy Reports Are Sealed.
Over a fortnight subsequent to the heartbreaking passing of celebrated film director Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, peers and loved ones continue to honor the duo.
A Heartfelt Farewell: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director
Sharing on Instagram, actor Cary Elwes, who starred in Reiner's beloved 1987 film *The Princess Bride*, stated he just recently felt prepared to express about his deep grief.
"Adequate time has gone by that I can at last articulate my loss into words," shared Elwes, adding that his introductory moment with Reiner left him smitten. "Once we started spending more time together I realized this was someone I wanted in my life."
The actor posted behind-the-scenes footage from the movie, remarking that he could not remember "any day without mirth".
"This story is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Principles that Rob cherished deeply. That is part of the many reasons he was the ideal person to helm it," Elwes wrote.
He went on to praise Michele Reiner, saying: "Claiming that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still pangs every time I remember you." He finished with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but existence is agony without you."
Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Fellow Artist
In a distinct tribute, revered director Martin Scorsese also honored Reiner, whom he initially encountered in the 1970s.
"From the start, I loved spending time with Rob. We had a innate rapport for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes sharply witty, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese shared.
Scorsese mentioned Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the main character.
"His improvisation skills with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with everyone, and he comprehended the personal struggle of his character," Scorsese noted.
Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Sealed
Recently, a Los Angeles court official decided to bar the publication of the Reiners' post-mortem findings, after an appeal from the Los Angeles Police Department.
A court order placed a restriction on the files to prohibit the public release of "all case details, evidence and photographs" connected to the active case.
The coroner's office had previously confirmed their deaths were the consequence of foul play, with a record noting the cause as "multiple sharp force injuries".
Aftermath and Reactions
Following the deaths, public personalities expressed divergent comments.
Ex-President Donald Trump commented on the matter, offering divisive statements that were broadly criticized by many public figures.
Podcaster Joe Rogan lent his voice to the those speaking out last week. Conversing on his program, Rogan labeled the comments as "disappointing" and remarked they demonstrated a troubling absence of compassion.
Rogan concluded by proposing that an adviser should have acted when the decision to comment on the passing was made.
