Correcting the Record

The statement includes descriptions of reportedly "erratic" conduct by Nick at a gathering thrown by Conan O'Brien on the night before the bodies were found. Although the source said they were unable to confirm whether Rob had "rebuked" his son at the party, they maintained that claims of a "blow-up" between the two were untrue.

Investigation Details

According to law enforcement officials, the coroner had not yet established at that point whether the Reiners died on Saturday evening or on Sunday. Preliminary accounts suggested the state of their bodies pointed to they had been deceased for a period of time.

Nick Reiner was taken into custody at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park area, some 15 miles from the residence. He was scheduled to have a hearing on Tuesday, but his legal counsel, Alan Jackson, stated his client had not received medical clearance and would not be present until no sooner than Wednesday.
