I’m gonna rewatch them all.I suspect CM.
Loved him.
Great Character Actor.
His wife and dog too? Sounds like Carbon Monoxide.
RIP to a Hollywood legend.
Could have been both carbon monoxide poisoning AND suicide.
As an actor I liked him. He played the part of a sarcastic a$$hole so well, I thought he was probably a nice person. Actors are often the opposite of there characters, but then again, there is De Niro.
Several years ago, out CO detector went off. Nobody had any apparent symptoms so we weren’t sure if it was some sort of malfunction as the detector was fairly old. But we did vent the house and made a call to 911. It turned out that there was indeed abnormal levels of CO, coming from the stove.
We had a mat that was meant to be used on the bottom oven rack to catch drippings from a pizza, for example. What happened was that after cleaning, that mat was mistakenly placed directly on the bottom of the oven instead of the lower rack, thereby causing improper combustion.
That CO detector may very well have saved our family, and now we have a CO detector in the master bedroom (the original location), one down the hall, and a CO/Propane detector in the basement.

I am going to watch the French Connection tonight, have not watched in decades.
Gene his Wife and the dog were found dead
My money is on the cat
Tried shouting "Stay"
No result.
Ahh...I remember Bat 21...I liked that one, too!
It happens.
As to liability, if it was a CO leak, if the property is rented the landlord perhaps, the manufacturer of the furnace maybe? The installer?
However, you would have to have some sort of reason they would be at fault. IE manufacturing defect, installed incorrectly, not properly maintained (if its a rental)
I mean you can sue in civil court just about anyone for anything, but to win, you need to have (at least in theory) some sort of proof that the people you are suing are at fault for the event occurring through negligence or error.
If you own a home with a natural gas furnace, this is always a risk, even if you maintain your furnace properly and it was installed properly etc etc.. Mechanical systems fail, they just do. Carbon Monoxide detectors should be in your home (SEVERAL OF THEM) if you have a gas furnace...
I don’t know if that’s what happened here, but just as a general rule, you should have them, just like you should have smoke detectors.
3 good ones.
Bat-21 - turned Vietnam into a golf course to get rescued.

Forgot about that. He was great.
Best actor in the history of film
Unforgiven is not a fave of mine.
After seeing it at the theater, I never wanted to see it again.
If you like it, fine. But it’s not for everybody.
Hackman once explained his creative approach by saying, “Each scene, I look for something not written down.”
😁
[Probably time for a new mouse...you wore out the “clicker”.]
That’s what happened to mine
