Insider: Nick Reiner 'rapidly deteriorating' in prison
Story by Heidi Parker • 8h • 5 min read

When Nick Reiner was last seen in February in a Los Angeles courtroom, he looked unrecognizable.

Sporting a buzzcut and a brown gown worn by inmates in 'mental observation housing,' the 32-year-old appeared gaunt as he stared wide-eyed after pleading not guilty to the murder of his parents Rob and Michele Reiner.

Five months on, and life in solitary confinement - spent locked in a 7ft-by-10ft cell - inside the mental health unit at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles has taken a toll.

'Nick no longer looks like Nick,' a source close to the Reiner family told the Daily Mail.

'He is rapidly deteriorating. No one would recognize him. He is almost bald because they have to keep his hair super short to keep the bugs out, and he is super skinny because of the intense medication he is on. His eyes are very sunken in.'

Reiner, who has been housed at the correctional facility since December, is said to have deteriorated cognitively too.

'Nick has not been well for many years, but before jail some of his personality could be recognized. Not now. He is like a babbling child, totally out of it,' the source said. 'It's so bad his lawyers have a hard time talking to him.'

They added that Reiner's siblings, brother Jake, 35, and sister Romy, 28, 'worry that he will never be sane again and that he could possibly die as his heart could weaken from the constant strain.'
