He had an amazing life. Very strange he, his wife and dog all died together. The Santa Fe police are looking into it.

That's what I was thinking. With the wife and dog also dead and no foul play suspected.

Gene Hackman was one of the best actors in Hollywood. He played so many roles perfectly. Rest in peace Popeye.

That was exactly my first thought. Absent obvious evidence of violence, this appears to be the most likely explanation for two people of varying age and health conditions AND a dog to all be found dead in the same place (which is not a hospital) at the same time.

He was a comedic genius as the blind man in Young Frankenstein.

Ran into him and his wife (then girlfriend) back in the 1980's at LA airport. They were walking together down an empty concourse carrying a steamer like trunk between them. As I passed them all I could muster to say was, "How you doing Mr. Hackman?" He just nodded and continued walking. He was such a great actor! I'm certain he was excited to see me, but he didn't show it! LOL.

Loved his work. Another great has left us.
