American Idol Supervisor Robin Kaye Dies in Suspected Double Homicide

Celebrity Deaths: 2025’s Fallen Stars

The American Idol family has lost one of its own.

Robin Kaye, a music supervisor for 15 seasons of the singing competition series, and her husband Thomas Deluca—a songwriter and musician—were discovered murdered in their Los Angeles home July 14, according to multiple outlets. Both were 70 years old.

Police officials confirmed to E! News that officers performed a requested welfare check at the couple’s home July 14 and discovered one male and one female victim who were “suffering from possible gunshot wounds.” The Los Angeles Fire Department was called to the scene, where they pronounced the victims deceased.

Authorities also confirmed to E! News that there is currently no suspect information or motive, but an investigation is ongoing.

Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ they were called to the home on July 10 due to an unidentified, and potentially armed, suspect who was seen trying to gain entry. The officers who responded to the scene allegedly found no signs of forced entry and searched the property before leaving. Officers noted that it’s unclear if this incident is related to the double homicide.
