Robin Kaye, the music mind behind American Idol, was found dead with her husband, Thomas Deluca, inside their Los Angeles home.
The both were 70 years old.
Police went to the couple’s house in Encino on July 14 for a welfare check. When officers walked in around 2:30 p.m., they found the two in separate rooms, both shot in the head.
The case is being treated as a double murder.
Kaye spent years picking the perfect songs for TV’s biggest reality shows.
And along with American Idol, she worked on Nashville Star, Lip Sync Battle, Selling Sunset, and Hollywood Game Night. She also held a top role at the Guild of Music Supervisors.
Deluca was a songwriter who made music for artists like Kid Rock and Micky Dolenz. He spent much of his life writing and performing.
Their deaths have left the entertainment world in shock. However, the couple spent years building careers in music and television.
Close friends said they were full of talent, heart, and love for what they did.
The investigation is ongoing. For now, the industry is left picking up the pieces.
