Both Michael’s and Rob Reiner’s cause of death has been stated as “multiple sharp force injuries” and “homicide.” The date of their death, which was previously subject to speculation, has been stated as Sunday, December 14, 2025.

Reports reveal that Nick was shackled and wore a suicide prevention vest; he was also hidden from view until the hearing concluded.

Nick’s next hearing is scheduled to be held on January 7th.
