    Nick Reiner is reportedly being held on a "suicide watch" following reports about his mental health. 

    CNN reported that the double-homicide case against Nick Reiner will be transferred to the "Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office," following which the charges will be decided.

    In LAPD's post on X on December 15, the authorities noted that after initial investigation, they found Nick "responsible" for his parents' homicide.

    While not everything is known about Nick's mental health conditions, sources reported that he had been allegedly dealing with substance abuse issues for over a "decade."

    CNN reported that in a 2018 appearance at the Dopey podcast, Nick had opened up about his struggles.

    At the time, he had revealed he had first entered the rehab system when he was 15 years old. He said,

    "I just was like, ‘You know what, I want to go home,’ and so I just stayed sober long enough ‘til I could go home and then yeah, I just went home and did (drugs).”

    He also talked about an "outburst" at his parent's house, attributing it to the effects of drugs. He told the hosts,

    "Got totally spun out on uppers, I think it was coke and something else, and I was up for days on end, and I started punching out different things in my guest house."

    Nick Reiner is currently being held on suicide watch as per new reports that have emerged from law enforcement. More updates about the District Attorney's decision will follow in the upcoming days.
