On Monday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner sent a press release saying that although the cause of death for Michele and Rob has been made public, they have removed it.
“Although the cause and manner of death were previously released in these cases, due to a court order, the information is no longer available. No other case information or records, including the Medical Examiner’s report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice,” said the press release, noting that a “security zone” has been put in place for now.
