[Babalu]

Legendary actor Gene Hackman was found dead at his home, along with his wife and dog. He was 95.

No foul play is suspected, which would lead you to believe this was carbon monoxide poisoning, or similar.

Certainly one of the greatest actors in the history of the movies.

Very sad..........

[stevea]

RIP for both. Such a sad story.

[Dude111]

I hope Foul play wasnt involved

[Bonniegirl]

Really strange and very sad ! I wonder what happened?

[Dude111]

Its very sad

Now the police are saying that the circumstances are such that they have to perform autopsies and toxicology tests in order to determine what happened. The gas company tested the lines and said there was no gas leak. Hackman and his wife were found in different rooms and seemed to have both fallen where they were found. No one had seen them for two weeks. Along with one dead dog, there were two healthy dogs found. Definitely a mystery.

[Dude111]

I wonder if someone did this to them??

I dont think the shot would have killed thier dog!!

This is very sad....... I think someone poisioned them! (And somehow got the dog too)

After Sante Fe County Sheriff's deputies found the couple and their dog dead at their New Mexico home on Wednesday, authorities are still investigating the cause, which at this point is still considered "suspicious." Details continue to emerge, including a search warrant affidavit report that Arakawa's body was found partially mummified and that multiple dogs were found alive, with more to follow in the coming weeks.

More information about the timeline of their deaths is also coming to light. "Just based on their body and other evidence on the body, it appears several days and possibly even up to a couple weeks" had passed since their deaths, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adam Mendoza told the "Today" show Friday, acknowledging the "challenge" of crafting a timeline as Hackman and Arakawa were "private individuals and a private family."

I heard an interview today on NY radio where a lawyer who is familiar with criminal investigations said that it was a horrible mistake for the police to come out immediately and say that no foul play was suspected before the investigation took place. These are small town cops who are not used to international attention.

I think they were trying to keep people from panicking but they should have known better!

[biffbronson]

I would think they'd likely have had regular contact with family & friends, so for "possibly even up to a couple weeks" to have passed since their deaths seems strange. I exchange emails with my brother practically every day, even though we dislike each other...!

If a lot of time did pass, it could explain why one dog died -- maybe less healthy than the others?

[rusty spike]

I was thinking double suicide, but we'll just wait for the ME report.

[Dude111]

Thats all I can of. But why would they kill thier dog??

Say Gene and his wife were sad...... Why kill the dog??

[Caroline13]

Gene was a Major fav actor in my life....We may ne ver know the Truths....of their deaths.... But 05 yrs,,,what a run he had but the youjg wife. RIP to you all....
