Homages Pour In for the Reiners as Medical Examiner's Findings Remain Under Wraps.

Well beyond 14 days following the shocking loss of celebrated filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, friends and colleagues are still paying respects to the duo.

Quoting a Classic: Cary Elwes Remembers His Director

Writing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's beloved 1987 film *The Princess Bride*, explained he only now felt able to share openly about his personal sorrow.

"Adequate time has gone by that I can at last put my grief into words," posted Elwes, adding that his introductory moment with Reiner created an instant bond. "As we began sharing more moments together I understood this was someone I wanted in my life."

The actor shared behind-the-scenes footage from the film, remarking that he doesn't recollect "one day without laughter".

"The film is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Things that Rob cherished deeply. This is one of the many reasons he was the perfect person to direct it," Elwes expressed.

He additionally honored Michele Reiner, noting: "Claiming that they were a formidable pair would be an understatement. My heart still hurts every time I think of you." He finished with a line 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 essay, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese shared memories of Reiner, whom he initially encountered in the 1970s.

"Immediately, I loved being with Rob. We had a instant connection 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 shared.

Scorsese mentioned Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the protagonist.

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked beautifully with his co-stars, and he understood the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese noted.

Legal Developments: Autopsy Reports Sealed

In a new development, a Los Angeles superior court judge agreed to bar the release of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, at the request from the LAPD.

A judicial mandate issued a restriction on the files to restrict the public release of "all case details, evidence and photographs" pertaining to the probe.

The relevant authority had already determined their deaths were the outcome of foul play, with a record noting the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".

Response and Criticism

After the tragedy, public individuals shared divergent reactions.

Ex-President Donald Trump commented on the matter, making divisive statements that were broadly criticized by numerous individuals.

Podcaster Joe Rogan added his criticism to the detractors last week. Speaking on his show, Rogan labeled the comments as "shocking" and remarked they demonstrated a troubling lack of empathy.

Rogan finished by remarking that an adviser should have acted when the choice to weigh in on the passing was made.
