Yeah, I saw that this morning. It’s kind of strange. He died his wife and his dog, wonder what happened?

Sad news and puzzling at the same time. I read an online article that stated what Crush said. Gene, his wife and dog were all found dead in their home. No foul play suspected. I would guess carbon monoxide, gas leak, something like that.

Sad is right, great actor. Monoxide poisoning was my first guess too, but I read an article a couple hours ago, that they were not "together" as initial reports made it sound. She was in a bathroom with an open bottle of prescription pills nearby and he was in another room. The police have decided it is all strange enough to get a warrant and comb the home for clues. Autopsies will reveal what is in their bodies...

One of the Best actors ever in my lifetime.He started so late in life as well,and still achieved what only other actors can hope for.
Sounds like something poisoned both them & 1 dog.They were dead awhile,Bodies had mummifyied body parts they said today.

Yeah, now they're calling it "suspicious". Too many questions.

Sad indeed.
I watched the French Connection last night in memory of Gene Hackman.
One of my all time favorite movies has to be Hoosiers.

I read that Gene and Dustin Hoffman were roommates back in the day when they were struggling actors.

The autopsy should answer a lot of questions!
