‘American Idol’ Music Supervisor and Husband Found Dead in Suspected Double Murder

Tragedy has struck the entertainment industry as veteran music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were found dead in their Encino home on Monday, with authorities treating the case as a double homicide. The LAPD made the discovery during a welfare check after concerned relatives hadn’t heard from the couple for several days.

According to law enforcement sources cited by TMZ, officers noticed traces of blood near the entrance of the residence. After attempts to contact anyone inside went unanswered, they broke a window to enter and found both Kaye and Deluca dead from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Police have yet to identify any suspects, and few details have been released publicly. The investigation is ongoing.

The welfare check was reportedly prompted by a relative who had grown alarmed after four days without contact. Officers also informed neighbors about the concerning silence that led to their visit.

Just days prior to the grim discovery, police had already been called to the same home. On the preceding Thursday, a report was made about a potential intruder attempting to break into the house. A suspect was allegedly spotted scaling the fence and may have been carrying a weapon. Responding officers and a police helicopter searched the area but did not locate anyone or find evidence of a break-in at that time.

Investigators are now working to determine whether that earlier incident is related to the deaths. While there is no indication that the house was ransacked, authorities are examining security footage for clues. As of now, no arrests have been made.

Robin Kaye was a respected figure in the music television world, best known for her long tenure on American Idol, where she served as music supervisor for more than 15 seasons, according to her IMDb profile. Her work earned her multiple honors from the Guild of Music Supervisors. She also contributed to shows like Lip Sync Battle and other high-profile productions.

Her sudden death has stunned colleagues and fans alike. Kaye was celebrated for her exceptional talent in curating music for television, shaping the sound of iconic shows that defined a generation.

Police are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward as the search for answers continues. For now, the entertainment community and the couple’s loved ones are left to grieve a devastating and deeply unsettling loss.
