Gene Hackman

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.

carbon monoxide poisoning was mentioned at an early stage, not sure if that is still what the police are suspecting.

The Conversation perhaps my favourite of his

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.

Try 'Night Moves' and 'Scarecrow'.

Yeah, watched Scarecrow years ago. Bit flawed but two of the all time greatest on their way up elevate it.

French connection is one of my favourite films. Not so keen on sequel.

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.

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

Got french Con and missisipi on DVD will watch over the next week or so

Carbon monoxide poisoning ruled out.

Tony Scott's Crimson Tide as a gung-ho nuclear sub commander opposite Denzel. the Lippizaners

Saying that Genes Pacemaker had Stopped 10 days previous to being Found

The Surviving dogs must have been in a Bad way

If dogs were hungry they would eat what was available.

If that was poisoned meat, by suicide, then dog may have poisoned itself

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

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

Maybe the 3rd dog was Elderly and she took him with them

..

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.

Might not have been able to take his heart medicine with her dead or not take it as would have been appropriate.

sorry i have misreported somewhat, i was half asleep listening to the tv.

the wife had a rare infectious disease.

how bad was his dementia surely not that bad he wouldnot  have contacted someone , unless he was Late stage .In which case understandale , Tragic

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. Now makes sense

What does not make sense is that neither of his two daughters intervened nor the local “ community “. Two weeks!

Sad way to go.

One dog was post surgery , so caged . Chances of Hantavirus 0.0001% - I could be wrong 300 deaths in USA

Presumably the caged dog wasn't fed/watered after Hackman's wife died !

They had a pest problem, as it was pest man that found them

Rodent borne virus might fit.
