Sad news. Natural gas leak? Hopefully accidental?
So many great films: Superman, Unforgiven, The Conversation, The French Connection, Young Frankenstein, etc. etc.
RIP, Gene!

His scene in Young Frankenstein is a classic - absolutely hilarious!
I had no idea he was 95...

I would speculate it was carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty natural gas heater.

Yes it is sad. He didn’t deserve it, he was building a house!

Sad news. When I was a kid I loved the Superman movies, and Hackman was so funny in those. The first time I saw The French Connection I almost had a heart attack during the classic chase scene, it was so intense. May he rest in peace.

Jesus, just the other day I saw him trending on X and figured he was dead, but it was just his birthday. Wow!!

Very sad. Gene Hackman was one of the greats. But he was not long for this world. Had a seemingly good life and fantastic career. He has been missed since his retirement. 93 is a good run.
Very odd that the wife was also found dead. Maybe not foul play but something strange about that obviously. Could indeed be a gas leak or some other toxin exposure. Or maybe one died naturally and the other took his/her own life in grief.

Since the dog was also dead, I’m guessing carbon monoxide, the “silent killer”.

A great entertainer! R.I.P., Mr. & Mrs. Hackman (and their dog).

My two favorite Gene Hackman movies were "Young Frankenstein" and "Lucky Lady" ... the latter being a prohibition movie with Burt Reynolds and Liza Minelli (and John Hillerman).

How terribly sad. Wasn’t he in “The Birdcage” or am I thinking of somebody else?

Ho-lee carp!
The dude had quite a life, but, his wife and dog too?
Peace to all, including family and friends.
