Gene Hackman and his wife found dead

Looks like they might have killed themselves. Apparently pills were strewn everywhere. Terribly sad.

Discussion about the unusual deaths of a very famous actor and his wife are bound to be discussed.

Human nature

They have probably committed suicide and the poor dog with them

But two other dogs are reported to have survived, so I'm not sure how people are coming to that conclusion. I'm hoping it was some kind of tragic accident.

Though what?
I don’t understand

Of course you do- a typo, and just as you wrote above- so very clear (well, bar the typo).

They have probably committed suicide and the poor dog with them

On Yahoo news, the daughter has suspected a gas leak and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Anyway, it's very sad.

A suicide pact has been suggested- the dog’s idea no doubt .

I haven't speculated it's none of my business. It's none of anybody's business. We'll find out sooner or later. Great actor but I didn't know him personally. Boo hoo.

It’s what we do on GransNet , share rather like at coffee time

Though what?
I don’t understand

No holier than though. I find it macabre and disrespectful, personally. Yes, either of the above- wait and see.

We truly should not speculate.

Why not?
No harm in wondering out loud - suicide pact? Dreadful domestic accident?
We shall be told soon enough but no need for anybody to be holier than thou to those who wonder.

It is very sad. It is always sad to lose one of our era.

He often played lascivious characters in powerful positions, as well as police detectives corrupt or otherwise. He always made the characters believable.

I'm sorry to hear this, but provided this was how they wanted to end things, and not anything untowards happening to them, then I'm sad but understanding.

Why not? We will all be wondering why this sad event has happened. Not sure anyone is harmed by this. I am not broadcasting online that I think he is an axe murderer!!

The announcement was that there were no suspicious circumstances so I suppose people will wonder what could have caused this.

This is very sad news. What a wonderful actor he was.

RIP

Precisely. Most comments are from a concerned pov, or an interest in a good actor from the same era as most of us.

Very sad.
Thoughts are with their loved ones.

An extremely talented actor, leaving a vast body of work.

His wife was a classical pianist

RIP 💐

Very sadRIP

It's very sad news. If course speculation will be rife, but perhaps a gas leak etc makes most sense.

Sounds like something like CO poisoning maybe ......

DH woke me up with the news. Very sad.

I wondered about that too, Luckygirl as the dog had died too.
