A decision to change Nick Reiner's schizophrenia medication, reportedly made after he complained about gaining weight, has been cited as the key factor that allegedly led to him murdering his parents, legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele.

The shocking allegation came from a new documentary by TMZ, The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened. Sources in the programme claim the medication switch made Nick Reiner 'more erratic' and violent. The report alleges his parents were aware of their son's deteriorating state but were unsure how to act. In a devastating claim, the documentary states medical professionals opted against placing him on a temporary psychiatric hold that could have stabilised his condition.
