According to the documents obtained by People, their date of death has been recorded as July 14 at 4:14pm, despite them dying days earlier. It is due to the time when officers found them.
The couple were shot in the head in their $4.5million home on July 10. Despite a neighbour making a 911 call to report an intruder at the property on the same day, Ms Kaye and Mr Deluca were not found until their family requested a welfare check.
Raymond Boodarian, 22, has been charged with two counts of murder as well as other offences in relation to the deaths. He is set to appear at a mental health court in Hollywood on September 3 and remains behind bars without bail.
