The entertainment world is reeling after the shocking deaths of Robin Kaye, the longtime music supervisor for American Idol, and her husband, Thomas Deluca. The couple was discovered in their Encino home on Monday after police conducted a welfare check. Authorities are treating the case as a double homicide.
Officers arrived to find blood near the front entrance and forced their way inside when no one responded. Both victims had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. While details remain scarce, investigators have not yet identified any suspects or made arrests.
Concerned family members reportedly requested the welfare check after failing to hear from the couple for four days. The tragedy comes just days after a suspicious incident at the home—neighbors called police last Thursday after spotting an unknown individual attempting to enter the property, possibly armed. Officers found no signs of forced entry at the time.
Kaye’s illustrious career spanned over 15 seasons on American Idol, where she earned multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. She also contributed to hits like Lip Sync Battle, leaving an indelible mark on television music.
As the investigation unfolds, police are reviewing security footage and urging anyone with information to come forward. Friends, colleagues, and fans are left grieving an immense loss while awaiting answers.
