Eulogies Continue for the Reiners as Medical Examiner's Findings Are Sealed.
Over a fortnight after the tragic deaths of esteemed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community continue to honor the pair.
A Heartfelt Farewell: Cary Elwes Remembers His Director
Writing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who rose to fame in Reiner's iconic movie *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he just recently felt able to post publicly about his personal sorrow.
"Sufficient time has elapsed that I can at last articulate my loss into words," posted Elwes, saying that his first meeting with Reiner made him fall in love. "Once we started spending more time together I realized this was someone I longed to have in my life."
The actor uploaded never-before-seen clips from the movie, remarking that he could not remember "any day without joy".
"The movie is about love, loyalty and sacrifice. Principles that Rob valued immensely. Which is among the many reasons he was the perfect person to helm it," Elwes expressed.
He additionally honored Michele Reiner, stating: "Asserting that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still aches every time I recall you." He concluded with a line from *The Princess Bride*: "Indeed, death cannot stop true love but living is anguish without you."
Martin Scorsese Remembers a Fellow Artist
In a distinct piece, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.
"Right away, I loved spending time with Rob. We had a natural affinity for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes bitingly funny, but he was never the kind of guy who would take over the room," Scorsese wrote.
Scorsese highlighted Reiner's supporting role in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the main character.
"His improvisation skills with the best. He was a master at comedy, he worked beautifully with everyone, and he understood the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese wrote.
Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Withheld
In a new development, a Los Angeles court official ruled to prevent the disclosure of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, after an appeal from the LAPD.
A judicial mandate placed a embargo on the cases to restrict the public release of "any investigative information, notes, reports or photos" associated with the ongoing investigation.
The coroner's office had earlier stated their deaths were the result of foul play, with a record noting the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".
Aftermath and Reactions
Following the deaths, public figures shared divergent reactions.
Ex-President Donald Trump posted on the matter, offering controversial claims that were met with immediate backlash by numerous commentators.
Podcaster Joe Rogan contributed his criticism to the those speaking out last week. Talking on his program, Rogan labeled the comments as "disturbing" and implied they showed a troubling absence of compassion.
Rogan concluded by suggesting that an associate could have acted when the choice to speak on the tragedy was made.
