Authorities have not disclosed any details about the preliminary findings, citing the ongoing investigation. The court has ordered that the report be submitted as soon as it is completed.
Reiner's family has requested privacy during this time. A spokesperson released a statement saying, "We appreciate the public's support and ask for patience as we await the official report."
