What a legendary actor. I enjoyed his movies over the years.

What a coincidence, I just happen to be in New Mexico. The girlfriend and I just finished watching “The French Connection “ . We’re in middle of a giant dust storm and there’s not much else to do. Pretty good movie, I think Gene Hackman won the Acadamy Award for best actor for that role.

Mississippi Burning was a great movie, one of his best

Started watching Runaway Jury yesterday while making dinner. Not a bad movie. He's always great. I didn't realize he had been retired for almost 20 years.

Things sound a little suspicious at his house. Dog locked in a closet, people in multiple rooms, spilled pills.

I liked his OTT version of the Little Bill character John Herod in The Quick and the Dead.

I agree. I can’t believe the Academy Awards snubbed him for “Welcome To Mooseport”, which was filmed in Port Perry by the way.

Great actor, amazing body of work.

Loved his performance in a lesser talked about film: The Conversation.

No peaceful suicide pact.

Death of Gene Hackman, wife, dog deemed 'suspicious'; pills found scattered

Certainly sounds off.

A quirky movie but he was excellent in The Royal Tenenbaums.

Big fan of his work but never cared much for Unforgiven or The French Connection. (Yes he won an oscar for it)

sudden drops.. no trauma.. inside dog dead.. outside dogs alive and fine.
It's carbon monoxide poisoning.
If it was pills.. they'd have time to sit or lay down.. and slip out.

That is definitely very possible. Still worth an investigation though.

Absolutely.. I'm not sure but I think they still need warrants and follow proper protocol even if it is.. until they find the exact cause of the poisoning. It's possible it happened thru negligence or even criminal negligence.. or worse.

The low that night in Santa Fe was 60 F.

ME ruled out carbon monoxide. From GH pacemaker, he probably died nine days before he was found.

They didnt detect carbon monoxide when they tested , but that was nine days later. The autopsy will be the answer .

Apparently his kids are being questioned. Routine? Maybe. Maybe not.
