Gene Hackman and his wife found dead in their home

I don't know. I pulled that from the deep recess of my brain.

Wasn't there commercials on the radio about 20 years ago about radon gas? That's the extent of my knowledge.

If I remember right, radon does kill outright but causes cancer

I think I read that the dog was near a closet, not in the closet.

I know they've talked about how a gas leak wasn't "readily apparent," but that has to be what happened. I'm sure they'll find a place where gas was leaking or could have leaked. It seems like the only possible explanation given everything else they've said.

he was in the mudroom. she was in the bedroom.

No way it was a gas leak

That makes more sense, even though the article linked above stated "in" a closet.

Both bodies were found decomposed and partially-mummified. Possibly dead for two weeks.

Hackman's cane and sunglasses were found near his body.

Two other dogs found alive.

My guess, Hackman died naturally and wife committed suicide by pills. 1 dog starved to death or ate the pills that were found, the other 2 dogs were surviving off of the corpses. Terrible

Why would the fact that they are in different rooms mean it wasn't a gas leak?

Could be. Might explain why the door was left open. Maybe she opened it for the dogs?

Let me guess, divine intervention lol

Why would 2 dogs be alive?

Let me guess, divine intervention lol

maybe, if you believe in that religious dogma.

Some people like to bring dogs to the grave with them. The wife probably killed herself and the “favorite” dog.. left the door open for the other 2

Gene was old as ****. No surprise he went. RIP. Royal Tenenbaums is a personal favorite.

Funny story, Gene was an old friend of former Jaguars head coach Jack del Rio. Apparently they knew each other through Gene's wife (RIP) and Gene became an honorary Jaguars fan. I saw him at training camp multiple times and called in the radio show a couple times. Seemed like a nice man.
