Both fully clothed no obvious signs of injury ?

Watched The Unforgiven before. Planning to watch loads more of his over the next couple of weeks. Probably my favourite actor. He just brought every character to life.
|
By:
carbon monoxide poisoning was mentioned at an early stage, not sure if that is still what the police are suspecting.
|
By:
The Conversation perhaps my favourite of his
|
By:
Just so good as Bill Daggett in The Unforgiven. A complete bastard who thought he was the good guy till the very end. Pitch perfect performance.
|
By:
Try 'Night Moves' and 'Scarecrow'.
|
By:
Yeah, watched Scarecrow years ago. Bit flawed but two of the all time greatest on their way up elevate it.
|
By:
French connection is one of my favourite films. Not so keen on sequel.
|
By:
The Conversation and Missisippi Burning my favourite films of his.
He was brilliant in Unforgiven and it's a brilliant film but it also had the benefit of a few other greats in that film. |
By:
French Con 1 Brilliant, Agree Donnie 2 not so
Missispipi Brilliant a Great Actor Amazed to find out he was actually in Young Frakenstine , Played the Blind Guy Never knew that I thought maybe he Had dementia and a double Suicide ,but your not going to take only 1 of the 3 dogs with you |
By:
Got french Con and missisipi on DVD will watch over the next week or so
|
By:
Carbon monoxide poisoning ruled out.

The Surviving dogs must have been in a Bad way
|
By:
If dogs were hungry they would eat what was available.
If that was poisoned meat, by suicide, then dog may have poisoned itself |
By:
Dogs would not eat their owners like cats. They would literally sit by their master and die. She may have taken pills in her grief
|
By:
Doors were open two of the dogs were able to come and go ,not sure why the other was not
Bottle of pills by his wifes body , seems Gene died and she took the Pills or that is how it appears , very sad story |
By:
Maybe the 3rd dog was Elderly and she took him with them

By:
both said to have died from natural causes but the deaths were a week apart, the wife died first.
they say he had alzheimer's so maybe he wasnt aware of what had happened? no foul play. |
By:
Might not have been able to take his heart medicine with her dead or not take it as would have been appropriate.
|
By:
sorry i have misreported somewhat, i was half asleep listening to the tv.
the wife had a rare infectious disease. |
By:
how bad was his dementia surely not that bad he wouldnot have contacted someone , unless he was Late stage .In which case understandale , Tragic

By:
Hackman was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease, and it's "quite possible" he was not aware that his wife died a week earlier.

By:
What does not make sense is that neither of his two daughters intervened nor the local “ community “. Two weeks!
Sad way to go. |
By:
One dog was post surgery , so caged . Chances of Hantavirus 0.0001% - I could be wrong 300 deaths in USA
|
By:
Presumably the caged dog wasn't fed/watered after Hackman's wife died !
|
By:
They had a pest problem, as it was pest man that found them
Rodent borne virus might fit. |
