Eulogies Flow for the Reiners as Autopsy Reports Remain Under Wraps.

More than two weeks subsequent to the heartbreaking passing of esteemed film director Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer Michele Reiner, friends and colleagues persist in remembering the duo.

A Heartfelt Farewell: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director

Writing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who starred in Reiner's iconic movie *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he only now felt able to express about his deep grief.

"Adequate time has gone by that I can now express my sorrow into words," shared Elwes, adding that his introductory moment with Reiner made him fall in love. "When we commenced sharing more moments together I knew this was someone I wanted in my life."

The actor posted behind-the-scenes footage from the film, remarking that he could not remember "a single day without joy".

"The film is about devotion, fidelity and selflessness. Things that Rob cherished deeply. Which is among the many reasons he was the perfect person to guide it," Elwes continued.

He additionally honored Michele Reiner, stating: "Claiming that they were a incredible duo would be an understatement. My heart still pangs every time I think of you." He finished with a quote from *The Princess Bride*: "Sure, death cannot stop true love but existence is agony without you."

Martin Scorsese Recalls a Colleague and Comrade

In a different piece, acclaimed director Martin Scorsese also honored Reiner, whom he first met in the 1970s.

"Immediately, I loved hanging out with Rob. We had a instant connection for each other. He was hilarious and sometimes sharply witty, but he was never the kind of guy who would command the room," Scorsese wrote.

Scorsese pointed out Reiner's acting part in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, embodying the father of the main character.

"He was skilled at improv with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked wonderfully with everyone, and he understood the human predicament of his character," Scorsese noted.

Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Sealed

In a new development, a Los Angeles judge ruled to prevent the release of the Reiners' medical examiner's reports, following a petition from the local authorities.

A legal directive placed a embargo on the files to limit the public release of "related notes, notes, reports or photos" connected to the active case.

The coroner's office had earlier stated their deaths were the outcome of foul play, with a official listing listing the cause as "wounds from an edged weapon".

Aftermath and Reactions

In the wake of the tragedy, public figures shared divergent responses.

Ex-President Donald Trump wrote on the matter, making provocative claims that were broadly criticized by numerous commentators.

Podcaster Joe Rogan lent his criticism to the those speaking out last week. Talking on his podcast, Rogan described the statements as "shocking" and implied they demonstrated a concerning lack of empathy.

Rogan concluded by suggesting that an adviser could have stepped in when the impulse to weigh in on the death was made.
