  1. the reporting on this story has been borderline ghoulish

  2. The headline is enough for me, dog. Truly a horrific nightmare.

  3. I found my neighbor’s body after he chose to move on. We weren’t super close but I’d been helping him navigate cancer treatment (he was older, no family, and very awkward socially). He’d gotten some bad news about his next step (disfiguring surgery) and I knew it was all heavy on his mind so I wasn’t surprised.

    His actions were very tidy and well thought out, he wanted whomever found him to be traumatized as little as possible.

    That being said, it was kind of traumatizing and caused *big thoughts* about what happens to the physical body when it stops functioning and how fast it can happen.

    I’m fine now but I cannot imagine the mental catastrophe that occurs when you find your beloved father butchered in your childhood home. It hurts my heart for anyone who goes through something like that.

  4. She’d post funny little videos with her and her dad sometimes, they were clearly very close. Feel horrible for her.

  6. Hulu already has a full documentary out about this case and it’s barely even broken yet

  7. Understandable, she had no idea if who did it was still in the house. I would immediately panic and think someone‘s behind the door, in the next room, around the corner.

  8. Romy always seemed like a sweet kid who idolized her dad on Twitter. Such an awful thing for her to have to experience.

  9. Very smart move to leave immediately; who knew if killer was still there. I hope she has people to help with the trauma

  10. Very smart move to leave immediately; who knew if killer was still there. I hope she has people to help with the trauma

  11. Irresponsible reporting all around. They all put his son as an “undeniable” perpetrator, for the most part, and multiple stories have emerged for who found them. A masseuse, the daughter, all sorts of shit. It just reminds me how horrific these rumor rags are and how damaging they are to real journalism.

  13. I hope the Son has the biggest, meanest, pushiest, creepiest, overbearing, most god-awful cellmate imaginable once he’s locked up.

    I’m sorry your Mommy and Daddy weren’t going to fund/support your drug addict lifestyle anymore. Boo fucking hoo.

  15. I’m an agnostic, but I hope angels exist if only to surround this woman with love and protection right now, and any vultures are repelled.

  16. Who are these sources gabbing every single detail about this tragedy to every mag that will listen? And shame on ew, people, etc for reporting on it. I wish the friends and family and law had the opportunity to navigate this horrible situation in private

  17. One of the worst parts for their other two kids is that they didn’t just lose their parents but ultimately their brother as well. So tragic, I can’t imagine the grief and anger at their brother for such a terrible act.

  19. It’s unimaginably awful. This poor family and what a tremendous loss to the Entertainment world. I grew up watching him in All in the Family

  20. I choose to treat everything being reported at the moment as sheer speculation unless or until it’s confirmed by an official court document/testimony or one of the people with first-hand knowledge opts to publicly confirm it.

    I will say that I was present when first my mother and then my father passed away. It was very emotional, but I also feel so privileged that I could be there to hold their hands and tell them how much I loved them as they slipped away.

    It’s never a good time to lose anyone you love – but the circumstances under which their daughter apparently discovered what happened must have been horrific no matter how it went down. I think Nick must have some major underlying mental illness in addition to his history of substance abuse.

    Just an awful, awful tragedy no matter what the particulars were.

  21. At this point I just hope that there’s a silver lining to this tragedy, and that it’s an eye opener for people who are dealing with dangerously unwell family members. I hope they remember to take care of themselves, keep secure locks, have a system and plan in place if something goes awry.

  22. What a horrible fate for not just him but his surviving family.

    As hard as it already is losing a loved one; I can’t imagine everyone in the world having so much detail and information about what happened. Especially after such a gruesome tragedy occurred…

    His poor family. The intensity of the grief combined with never having a true moment of peace to yourself must be excruciating. I can’t even imagine.

    My dad killed himself and if I was out with friends for example and saw his face on the TV or heard strangers talking about it … that must be so hard to go through.

  24. That’s understandable. I found a friend’s body at his home at the beginning of the year, the second I saw it I turned right out of the room and called police. I wasn’t spending a second longer there than I needed.

  26. Really wish they’d get some privacy during this time

  27. Every detail gets worse, this is a truly gutting story.

  28. My heart breaks for her. Therapy can help a person to somewhat process that kind of trauma, but she’ll likely never fully get over it. I’m of course sad for her other brother and for Rob and Michele’s friends, but their daughter especially.

  31. I discovered my father’s body this year.

    I feel like we all know what to do in a situation like that, but really, until you are, you don’t know what you’re gonna do. Everything was moving in slow motion. While I remember everything that I did, it still feels hazy. Like it’s not even my memory.

    It’s also the worst thing that has ever happened to me. And I’ve had a lot of trauma so that saying something.

    My dad passed away from natural causes, however. This woman found her dad murdered in a very brutal and gruesome way. That’s a brand new level of horrific. I wish for her peace. I hope she’s able to find it sooner rather than later.

  32. Not only is this a nothing article it’s also literally none of our business this obsession that media has crime and the people it affects if fucking gross.
