Tributes Flow for Rob and Michele Reiner as Medical Examiner's Findings Face a Security Hold.

Well beyond 14 days after the tragic deaths of celebrated film director Rob Reiner and his partner, photographer Michele Reiner, the entertainment community are still paying respects to the duo.

A Heartfelt Farewell: Cary Elwes Recalls His Director

Sharing on social media, actor Cary Elwes, who was featured in Reiner's iconic movie *The Princess Bride*, mentioned he just recently felt ready to share openly about his profound loss.

"Adequate time has elapsed that I can now express my sorrow into words," wrote Elwes, noting that his first meeting with Reiner made him fall in love. "When we commenced passing more hours together I realized this was someone I desired in my life."

The actor posted behind-the-scenes footage from the film, commenting that he could not remember "one day without mirth".

"The movie is about affection, allegiance and giving. Principles that Rob valued immensely. Which is among the many reasons he was the perfect person to direct it," Elwes expressed.

He additionally honored Michele Reiner, noting: "Asserting that they were a formidable pair would be an understatement. My heart still hurts every time I think of you." He ended with a phrase from *The Princess Bride*: "Indeed, death cannot stop true love but existence is agony without you."

Martin Scorsese Reflects on a Colleague and Comrade

In a different piece, revered director Martin Scorsese paid homage to Reiner, whom he originally knew in the 1970s.

"From the start, 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 take over the room," Scorsese shared.

Scorsese mentioned Reiner's supporting role in his 2013 film *The Wolf of Wall Street*, playing the father of the main character.

"He could improvise with the best. He was a expert at comedy, he worked wonderfully with everyone, and he comprehended the emotional dilemma of his character," Scorsese added.

Court Proceedings: Autopsy Reports Sealed

Recently, a Los Angeles court official agreed to bar the disclosure of the Reiners' post-mortem findings, after an appeal from the LAPD.

A legal directive placed a restriction on the files to limit the public release of "related notes, documents, files or images" associated with the active case.

The coroner's office had already determined their deaths were the result of murder, with a public database citing the cause as "injuries from a sharp object".

Fallout and Commentary

After the killings, public personalities shared different comments.

Ex-President Donald Trump commented on the matter, offering provocative statements that were broadly criticized by numerous public figures.

Podcaster Joe Rogan added his criticism to the critics last week. Talking on his program, Rogan characterized the statements as "shocking" and implied they revealed a concerning deficiency of sympathy.

Rogan ended by proposing that an adviser should have intervened when the impulse to speak on the passing was made.
