Were Gene Hackman & wife both murdered?

[Royalty]

Both found dead in New Mexico

Possibly staged to appear as an accident?

[wes]

When did this happen

When did this happen 

A few hours ago

[SF1900]

Carbon monoxide.

[wes]

Holy shit!!   

[Royalty]

New Mexico has a lot of “accidents” involving celebrities

[IroNat]

I think he and his wife and dog ended their lives voluntarily.

He was 95 and ill.

Left on their own terms.

RIP to one of the great actors of his day.

It's hell to get old.

This is him two years ago at age 93...

[wes]

Very sad........outstanding actor in many iconic films.

RIP

Carbon monoxide.

This is what I was thinking, because it said their dog was dead too.

Or maybe he died and then the wife stricken with grief just went ahead and poisoned herself and the dog?

[falco]

Pobrecitos.

[galain]

Sad to hear but at 95 he was going to shuffle soon.

Either it was some kind of gas leak/CO poisoning similar to what killed Vitas Gerulaitis, the tennis playboy.

Or he died and she decided to take herself out and the dog with her.

Or they both decided to go at the same time, and didn't give Fido a choice.

He had some heavy enemies. A particular journalist in New York 'CK' hated him. Nasy piece of work who reckoned Hackman had startled a horse he was riding to throw him off and cripple him.

I doubt the dog agreed to his own death

Odd that such an expensive house apparently didn't have CO detectors?

(Where I live, Netherlands, a smoke / fire detector is legally required on every floor of every house. Easiest for people to buy combined smoke and CO detectors)

Probably this. Aging is a bitch.

I just read a bit more about it on BBC and it said they’d both been dead a while because they’d started decomposing and “mummifying”. Gross. It also said the dead dog was a German shepherd so it makes me think they killed themselves, and just by past experience, the dog was probably named “Blondie”.

No Gas Leak

No Gas Leak

Maybe it was measles,  you fucking stooge. 😆 LOL, no need for PD to investigate,  royalty is on the case. He'll be looking for cum stains soon. Lolol!

[Kwon]

No foul play? With his 63 year old wife AND the dog dead too???

it was either a double murder, or murder/suicide

Post with some deets. I'm guessing Gene dies, and from them finding pill bottles, her, and the dog in the bedroom bathroom, she killed herself. Could be a murder suicide, but I don't get that. He was 95, he wasn't going to last much longer. Other option is Gene on wife, but I don't see that.  Could be a double suicide too.

Anytime a celebrity dies... Bob Saggett, Kobe Bryant, Jeffery Epstein, Anne Heche... I assume that it’s a homicide with a bunch of false witnesses ready to step forward with a cover story.  (Or even the Baldwin “accidental” shooting)

Why would a wife kill herself if her husband, who was getting close to 100 years old, died?

[BattleThong]

I had no idea he was still alive 

[robcguns]

I think she died and was his caretaker and then as a result he died and so did the dog form no food.

Why was the front door unlocked & open?

The dog could have escaped and looked for food.

And, supposedly, 2 other dogs were found alive.

Royalty, you're a shrewd operator when it comes to this stuff, so I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out. What if... and, God, I hate to say it... but what if the dog did it?

I'm thinking Gene woke up from his afternoon nap early and heard a commotion downstairs. When he entered the living room, he found his dog and wife engaged in a passionate tryst. Furious (and slightly aroused), he attempted to strangle the pooch, but with it being a tough working breed, the German Shepard quickly overpowered Gene and suffocated him with a well-placed paw. With the wife now being a witness to homicide, he had no choice but to silence her too. Panicked, overcome with guilt in having just killed his sexual partner, and facing the rest of his life in a kennel, he saw no option but to take the coward's way out. Is this possible?
