Rob and Michele Reiner's death certificates have been released.
According to the death certificates obtained by Fox News Digital from the Los Angeles County Public Health Department, the couple were cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary.
The certificates also confirmed what was revealed last week by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office that the Reiners died due to multiple sharp force injuries. The certificates stated the injuries were caused "with knife, by another."

"He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, that being a knife," Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said during a press conference. "These charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, or the death penalty."
No decision has been made on whether prosecutors will seek the death penalty.

Their latest statement comes after Romy and Jake broke their silence on Dec. 17, three days after their parent's murder.
"Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends," they told People last Wednesday.
"We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness, and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life. We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave," they added.
