Celebrity Death: Gene Hackman 95

[HolyGhost]

crazy story. The fact that the door was ajar or open? mean gas could have escaped

Ah geez all of that sounds horrible. Don't know how no family or friends check on them in 2 weeks. Really sad.

Probably need to wait on the details of what happened to them. But, I think these days, we've all missed texts/calls from people and they haven't followed back up with us. I can understand that at his age, it would cause concern to most if they can't get a hold of him, but his wife was significantly younger, in her mid 60's vs 80's which is an age she can deal with anything. If she was close in age to Gene, then yeah, I think people would be more likely to want to check in on them.

Now a number of sources are saying the cops have found some suspicious stuff like pills strewn over the ground etc.

Wonder based on these facts if wife had medical emergency and collapsed in bathroom, Hackman who looked frail when last seen in public months ago fell while trying check on her and the dog ate some of the pills that fell on floor

What I can't figure out is, he had 3 kids and was 95. Obviously his wife is in her early 60s so it's not like they need close monitoring but you'd figure someone would have checked in every day or 2? Sad.

No guarantee that his kids lived close by. Gene was living in New Mexico.

He made plenty of money to afford hiring staff to assist him/his wife if he wanted that.

Just have to wait for more details. Sad for his wife to pass at 64 and along with his dog. Gene lived a full life to age 95.

Superman, I have to leave you now. No hard feelings.

We all have out little faults. Mine is in California!

RIP to one of the best actors I've ever seen.

I'm reading that one of the major causes of CO poisoning is gas space heaters, and a space heater is mentioned in all of the reports as being in the bathroom with Betsy and having been moved. Maybe it's a coincidence, though.

This story is ongoing. Search warrants have been issued for the home. Autopsies have been ordered. The local authorities have characterized the deaths as "suspicious."
Saw some recent pics of Gene and he was definitely on the doorstep to the afterlife. Unrecognizable and frail, which isnt uncommon for a 95 year old. The death of the wife and one of their three dogs is probably not due to natural causes. There is going to be something weird that comes out at some point.

3 of my grandparents lived til 92-95, so they do become frail. Needing walkers or canes and needing people to help them around. Would expect that his wife would require some help with Hackman. Doing things like giving him a bath a couple of times a week as you need to be gentle to support him and she was quite a bit smaller than he was.
