A court order sought by the Los Angeles Police Department has led to any medical records connected to the homicide investigation of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner to be sealed from public scrutiny.

The LAPD confirmed to * *on Tuesday that it "sought to seal the records of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's investigation."

"The causes of death of Mr. and Mrs. Reiner have already been made public," the department said in a statement. "The order was sought only to ensure detectives from Robbery-Homicide Division learned of important information surrounding their deaths before the media and the public. The order was not sought to undermine transparency."

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office announced that it "received a court order, initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department, to place a security hold" on the morning of Christmas Eve, in a statement shared online Monday.

"While the cause and manner of death were previously released on these cases, due to the court order, the information is no longer available," the statement read. "No other case information or records, including the Medical Examiner report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice."

The statement concluded with the note: "The Department understands the public's interest in these cases and remains committed to transparency when possible. Information will be made available once the court order is lifted."

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, the order prevents "the public release of any investigative information, notes, reports, or photos" to anyone other than the "assigned investigators."
