Robin Kaye, a longtime music supervisor on “American Idol,” was murdered alongside her husband, TMZ reports.
The site reports the couple was found dead on Monday in their L.A. home in Encino, California.
The bodies were found during a welfare check at the home. Authorities discovered blood at the entryway, so LAPD smashed a window to get inside, where they found the couple dead with possible gunshot wounds.
Law enforcement tells the site that both victims were shot in the head and they were found in different rooms. The authorities added that there was no signs of a burglary as the home was not ransacked.
TMZ reports the police are investigating the deaths as a double homicide.
The site adds that neighbors said someone called the police on Thursday after they saw someone who was possibly armed try to gain entry to the residence. When officers arrived they found no sign of forced entry. They searched the property and left. It is unknown if the incident was related to the couple’s deaths.
TMZ says that police told neighbors that the couple’s family had not heard from them in the past four days.
An “American Idol” spokesperson told “Extra” in a statement, “We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing. Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her. Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.”
The outlet also points out that the home was previously owned by the late rapper Juice Wrld, who died in 2019.
Robin’s career spanned 15 seasons with “American Idol,” and she also worked on shows like “Lip Sync Battle” and “The Singing Bee.”
