A great actor. May he RIP.
Strange that the wife and pet were also found dead.

Makes me wonder about a gas leak, or something.
Thats what my wife and I were thinking. Still he was 95.

Sure he was 'living on the edge' but his wife was much younger and the dog all at the same time...it's puzzling.

I hate to say it, but I hope it wasn't "something else"

His age is irrelevant given the circumstances.
Sorry. Just posted that. Didn't see another one in "Death," so went ahead.

Yeah he could have been choking to death on jello I guess at that age.

You said "jello".
I was replying to that post.
You sound like you're easily triggered, I'm sorry to have upset you.
Fuck off, idiot.

I'm really hating on Media in the age of Trump....was just taking a glance at news on Yahoo, and Parade Mag. had a clickbait header "What we know about what killed Gene Hackman! Yeah, if they do it's not revealed in that article. smh.

CO2 poisoning sounds likely, and I can see how a guy in his 90s wouldn't have been able to react to it in time, but for the wife to have failed to notice it seems... odd.
Morbid as this is: If I were writing this? He had a terminal condition which hadn't been announced to the public. (At his age, that's not implausible.) His wife couldn't stand to watch him suffer anymore, didn't want to live without him, so shut the windows, turned on the gas, and did them both. The poor dog was an incidental casualty.
Fuck off, idiot.
That sequence flashed through my mind as well. She was only in her 60s though and he was one of the best paid actors of his time.
But that's a plausible scenario.

All I really remember him from was his turn as Lex Luthor. Did a great job with it, though.
Damn, just realized there's a Gene Hackman sized hole in my cinematographic literacy. Think I'll spend this evening attending to that.
The sheriff and the gas company were there yesterday. Bodies were decomposing suggesting they had been dead for a couple days. Co2 was not the issue. An opened prescription bottle was found by the wife's side. Autopsy and toxicology reports on the way.
Very fucking sad

Then it seems that my posited scenario may be largely correct, deviating only in the method of exit -- depending the toxicology findings, of course.
EDIT: This does add a strange wrinkle, however. If the exit vector was pills rather than Co2, why end the dog, too? Perhaps as an act of mercy, to prevent the dog dying slowly and painfully of dehydration/starvation? Darker and darker, if so.
