At a guess, carbon monoxide poising, can be caused by a faulty heater, faulty hot water heater, etc

Sad

Two sad losses. Gene WAS the BEST Lex Luthor. Michelle Trachtenbergs passing surprises me. Younger than me! Just wow. 074202272025

I heard she had health issues, including a recent liver transplant, so probably complications. Agree about Lex Luthor

Carbon monoxide is my guess too. Could also be caused by a cracked heat exchanger in the furnace.

Wow, Michelle Trachtenberg was so young.  Hadn't followed her since Buffy ended.  She didn't look well at all in recent phones.

Gene Hackman was an amazing actor, with so many fantastic roles.

Apparent CO poisoning has been ruled out.  Will have to see if something gets announced later.

Yes, the Hackman deaths have been deemed suspicious, and they had been dead for some time. One dog died (it was in a kennel) but two survived. Definitely weird

 

If it was only Gene id say old age caught him, but wife and a dog? Somethings off. But i think ive said that before lol 115403012025

This is the first time I head that the deceased dog was in a kennel.  Considering the amount of time after the initial death, t could have played out like this:

  • Gene Hackman passed away in some way (even a fall can kill).
  • In distress, not thinking of anything else, his wife kill herself.
  • The dog confined in a kennel died from thirst.
  • The 2 dogs unconfined (1 inside, 1 outside) had access to enough water and food to survive.

With good examination of the scenes and the 3 deceased, things should be roughly figured out eventually.

considering his wife is as wholesome as she is hot, it was bound to last. he ran his asphalt business and stayed out of the lime light, that probibly also helped.

I can agree with wholesome. She has a nonprofit (i think its nonprofit> that sends books to kids up until age 5 or 6. A thing I find truly spectacular! However. I find her unattractive. She has had too much alteration and most if not all of it in the name of vanity. Do not get me wrong plastic surgery has its place. Even I have had a minor plastic surgery (to correct an oral defect below my lower front teeth. Gum tissue as a child was too thin after my adult teeth came in and oral plastic surgery was needed to correct it). But vanity alterations to me diminish attractiveness. Im all for medically necessary plastics but not vanity plastics. But its subjective on what we find attractive. 134703042025

Dolly Parton hit the big time, she won the show business lottery. And then she turned around and took all of that, her fortune and her fame, and she poured it back into the podunk, craphole town she grew up in and did everything she could to improve the lives of the people who helped her grow up when she had nothing. If this world had a million more Dolly Partons, it would be an immensely better place.

I was very sad when I heard that her husband had passed, because I know that when your true love of half a century passes, you aren't far behind. RIP.

Well. The plot thins. It appears Gene Hackman's wife died up to a week before Gene,  from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Gene may not have been aware of her death due to advanced Alzheimer's, but given where his body was found, it's possible he was finally seeking help when his heart gave out. A sad story.

Sad indeed. May he find the peace in death his mind denied him at the end. May what ever if anything that comes after this world see them in peace together. 171403072025

Ugh. Not a pleasant end.
