Lana Rae Meisner, 63, died on March 6, 2016, at the couple’s home in Studio City, Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department reports she was handling a rifle stored in a closet case when another item inside the case shifted, struck the trigger and the rifle discharged, causing a fatal gunshot wound to her head. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office and LAPD ruled the shooting accidental and found no evidence of foul play.

Officers had visited the residence earlier that same day after Lana Rae reported a possibly intoxicated male and took a domestic violence incident report before leaving. Randy Meisner was cooperative with investigators; there were no arrests or suspects tied to the death. Lana Rae’s death was attributed to the accidental discharge during handling and storage of the firearm.
