An American Idol music supervisor and her husband have been found dead in their Los Angeles home.
Officers were conducting a welfare check at a home in the Encino neighbourhood when they found the bodies of a man and woman with gunshot wounds.
An American Idol spokesperson confirmed the deaths of Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70.
The couple owned their home, according to public records.
Los Angeles police say they are investigating their deaths as homicides but have not identified any suspects.
“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,” a representative for American Idol told CNN in a statement.
The statement continued: “Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.”
According to Tony Im, a public information officer for the LAPD, police responded to the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue in Encino – an address believed to be that of Kaye and Deluca’s, according to public property records – around 2.33pm on Monday (local time) after receiving a call for a welfare check.
Once on the scene, officers discovered one male and one female victim who appeared to have “suffered from possible gunshot wounds” and they were both pronounced dead at the scene.
According to Im, an arrest of a suspect has been made.
Kaye was a veteran music supervisor, having over 40 credits dating back to the late 1990s.
Kaye, an industry veteran, has also worked in the music departments of several other productions such as The Singing Bee, Hollywood Game Night, Lip Sync Battle, and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.
Kaye most notably spent over a decade working as a music supervisor for American Idol between 2009 and 2023.
