Eulogies Continue for Rob and Michele Reiner as Autopsy Reports Face a Security Hold.
More than two weeks after the tragic deaths of esteemed filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community persist in remembering the pair.
Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director
Writing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who rose to fame in Reiner's iconic movie *The Princess Bride*, stated he just recently felt able to post publicly about his personal sorrow.
"Enough time has elapsed that I can at last articulate my loss into words," wrote Elwes, noting that his initial encounter with Reiner made him fall in love. "As we began passing more hours together I knew this was someone I longed to have in my life."
The actor shared behind-the-scenes footage from the movie, commenting that he could not remember "one day without laughter".
"This story is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Things that Rob valued immensely. That is part of the many reasons he was the perfect person to guide it," Elwes expressed.
He also paid tribute Michele Reiner, saying: "Claiming that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still pangs every time I think of you." He concluded with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but life is pain without you."
Martin Scorsese Remembers a Fellow Artist
In a separate tribute, revered director Martin Scorsese paid homage to Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.
"From the start, I loved being with Rob. We had a natural affinity for each other. He was very funny and sometimes acutely humorous, but he was never the kind of guy who would dominate the room," Scorsese wrote.
Scorsese mentioned Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, portraying the father of the lead role.
"He could improvise with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with everyone, and he comprehended the human predicament of his character," Scorsese wrote.
Legal Developments: Autopsy Reports Sealed
This week, a Los Angeles superior court judge agreed to prevent the disclosure of the Reiners' autopsy reports, following a petition from the Los Angeles Police Department.
A court order put a embargo on the investigation to limit the public release of "related notes, evidence and photographs" associated with the probe.
The relevant authority had previously confirmed their deaths were the outcome of foul play, with a official listing citing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".
Response and Criticism
After the tragedy, public personalities expressed divergent comments.
Former President Donald Trump commented on the matter, offering divisive remarks that were met with immediate backlash by several commentators.
Podcaster Joe Rogan added his voice to the those speaking out recently. Talking on his show, Rogan characterized the remarks as "shocking" and implied they revealed a worrisome deficiency of sympathy.
Rogan concluded by proposing that an adviser should have acted when the decision to weigh in on the tragedy was made.
