WHAT A SAD ENDING....
I feel so sorry for him. But at least he didn’t fully understand why she wasn’t taking care of him. Heartbreaking
He was about 30 years older than her.
They had plenty of money. They should have had a live-in housekeeper.
Wow, what a shame.
That answers the question of Gene Hackman’s cause of death. After all, he’s of advanced age.
But his wife’s and dog’s deaths at nearly the same time are still unanswered.
bttt
I wonder if his children and friends are relieved the two didn’t die from some brutal murder.
This pretty much solves the whole mystery. Now if we could just have that Epstein list.
Yeah that one detail is what surprises me, he was worth what over 40 million dollars and they couldn’t bring in someone to help bathe him, it was all her? She did everything, bathed him, dressed him, etc
That's awful. At first, I thought the circumstances were extremely suspicious (husband, wife and dog dead, no signs of forced entry, no weapon, no evidence of a crime, no scent of gas, no bodily harm, etc.). But the conclusion does make sense. Gene Hackman's wife died and he had Alzheimer's at age 95, probably had no clue what to do. I'm a little surprised Gene didn't eventually go outside and wander around his neighborhood but I guess with Alzheimer's, there's no telling how a person would react.
The conclusion makes sense. Gene was a great actor, very believable. RIP
Did the two dogs eat them?
My mom passed at 83 and for her last week she would not eat. She just wasn’t hungry and she didn’t want a feeding tube. She was always underweight so she didn’t have a lot of energy reserves to live on. She was made comfortable and passed after several days. So I could see a heartbroken Mr. Hackman who wasn’t in the best of health just quit eating after his wife died.
Yes, kudos to his wife to look after him. It is surprising that they didn’t have a daily caregiver coming to the house to do cleaning, laundry, cooking and chores.
Their private lives ended very publicly.
And not just because he was a famous actor.
Because they also seemed to have no regular family or friends that gave a damn in return..
She shut the dog up in the bathroom closet because it kept disappearing.
It was a yellow labracadabrador. (rimshot)
>This ain’t funny you.
Yeah, yer right.
Gene Hackman cause of death revealed as sheriff says his wife died from rare virus linked to rodents a week before he did
Gene had children. Where the hell were they?
He was 95...he died of old age. Shxt happens.
Wasn't it just a few months ago we saw pictures of Hackman getting into the drivers seat of his SUV?
“Death with indignity”
I mentioned this on an earlier, related thread. Folks in such a condition really should have a medical alert button. The cost is usually around $40 a month.
And for a small additional charge, most companies will call you once a day at a time of your choosing. If you don’t answer, they send a neighbor, police, or EMS for a welfare check.
You can cancel the calls when you’re out of town.
