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.

Gene his Wife and the dog were found dead.
Odds are this was preventable.

Dead dog indicates either a gas leak or suicide. Wife was still young so I hope it's the gas leak theory. If a gas leak was the cause of death that should have been easy to determine and already listed as the cause.

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.
