OT: Gene Hackman (95)

@Hungry Jack it’s been a long day. But one thing we’ll always agree on: “Unforgiven”. If you’re building a house, then deserving has nothing to do with it.

Incredible film.

Anyone else been following the details of his/his wife's/his dog's deaths? Very peculiar. My early thought is she/dog may have died from a gas leak or something in a tight space and once she was gone, he was a little out of his mind and couldn't take care of himself/didn't have his wits about him to call the police or medicate himself.

They certainly could have afforded live-in help but what I’ve read they were very private and probably became too isolated as they aged. Too bad friends/family could not have intervened sooner. Articles have said their home won design awards in the past and Gene’s wife was very involved in the design and decoration. Gene was probably incapable of getting help on his own if he had fallen given his age. A mystery so far what happened but they were a close couple. She helped him with the books he wrote after he retired from acting.

The guy was 95. I don't think we will ever know what happened. I think he just passed. There is talk about prescription pills, an older person could make a mistake. His wife was 30 years his junior but age 65 is no spring chicken either. A mistake? He was a solid actor, RIP.

Maybe he and his wife were watching NU basketball and had a heart attack? We are all at risk.
