Gene Hackman's wife died of hantavirus; actor died of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's: Officials

And, with Alzheimers, he might have gone through grief and panic multiple times.

The whole thing is a tragedy. I feel like Hackman probably went through a hell of grief and panic in that last week. I really hope that maybe he regressed to the point that he forgot she was there. It'd be the only mercy in that whole situation.

This is honestly the most tragic death of all of them. I'm not trying to minimize the others, I'm just saying given the context.

Dead in its crate. She had picked it up from the vet after a procedure on the 9th. Presumably it was in there because it was still recovering. Probably wanted to isolate it from the others. Most likely, it died in the crate from dehydration and starvation. Dogs can only survive about 3 days without food or water.

Such a sad ending for all of them...

one dog was dead near the woman, the 2 other healthy in the property. May be the coroner will explain what happened to that dog

I read somewhere he was locked in a crate, so likely starvation

And the dog?
