'It’s heartbreaking': Judd Apatow says Rob Reiner and Michele Singer's death is an 'unspeakable tragedy'

Judd Apatow says Rob Reiner and Michele Singer’s deaths are “an unspeakable tragedy”.

Filmmaker Reiner and his wife Michele were found dead at their Los Angeles home in December and their son Nick has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the killings.

The couple’s close friend Judd told The Hollywood Reporter: “It’s just an unspeakable tragedy. Rob and Michele were the kindest people, amazing artists. They really worked hard to make life better for other people in this country. They walked the walk. They put in the time. There’s no way to exaggerate the effect they’ve had on the country. It’s heartbreaking… he was an incredibly warm, hilarious, giving person.”

Before his death, Judd interviewed Rob for his two-part HBO documentary, Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!, as the 99-year-old comic was close friends with Rob’s late father Carl Reiner.
