American Idol’ Music Supervisor and Husband’s Cause of Death Revealed

By VMZ Staff on August 26, 2025

Robin Kaye as well as her husband, Thomas Deluca, were recently found dead in their home in Los Angeles.

According to reports, the couple were both shot to death in the home, located in the Encino area of Los Angeles.

Over a month after American Idol supervisor Robin Kaye and her musician husband, Thomas Deluca, were found dead in their Los Angeles residence, a cause of death has been revealed.

According to a death certificate obtained by People, Kaye and Deluca, both 70, died after suffering multiple gunshot wounds that they sustained on July 10. Their deaths were listed as a homicide.

Although their death certificates report that the couple sustained their fatal injuries, which caused them to die within minutes of each other, on July 10, their date of death was originally recorded as July 14. People stated that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office previously told the outlet that the couple was pronounced dead on July 14, which is the date authorities say Kaye and Deluca were found dead in their Encino, California, home following a welfare check call.

The outlet also noted that although Kaye’s death certificate, which was issued on July 23, originally stated that no autopsy was performed, documents show that autopsies were conducted for both Kaye and Deluca and used to determine that cause of death. People stated that the notation was corrected by an amendment filed on Aug. 4.

 

Three days after police found the couple’s bodies, Raymond Boodarian, 22, was charged with two counts of murder with enhancements for killing the couple while committing a robbery, intentionally using a firearm, and committing multiple murders. Boodarian also faces a burglary charge.
