Yea, I saw that this morning.
Just a hunch based on no information, but these illegals gangs, when they do a home invasion, they kill everyone, including the wife, children, etc. They certainly don't care about human life, and don't want any witnesses.
A great actor, including starring in at least one sports movie.
RIP
I wonder what defines "foul play"?
Definitely seems as though there was some tragic series of events. I saw a story about looking at the possibility of a natural gas leak. She was only 63. He was 95 and I doubt whether any health issues he may have had would have been public. Apparently,
they had 3 German Shepherds. If
something catastrophic happened to her, I could see an extreme situation with him and the dog, if it was confined, being helpless.
Regardless, very sad. Hoosiers is a tremendous movie.
i thought carbon monoxide maybe
Some of his other great movies: Scarecrow with Pacino, Narrow Margin, Mississippi Burning,The Conversation.
Just like his famous line in "Unforgiven" it seems Gene and his wife Betsy didn't deserve whatever happened. His indelible mark on our culture will remain for a long time.
RIP to them both.
There will be a tribute at the Oscars Sunday.
RIP
Prescription pills by her. both bodies starting to decompose with no exterior clues. dogs locked in closet also.
RIP

It's being investigated as suspicious, it sounds to me as if the wife poisoned him and then OD'd herself.
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
RIP

Illegal gangs as opposed to the legal ones?? What is it with you conspiracy theory crazies?

I clearly stated "based on no information" and in today's world, that could not be a possibility to be ruled out. These gangs have targeted rich people for quite some time. You may have heard about the Mahomes and Kelce homes being robbed. Fortunately the players were not at home when it happened, or they may have not been alive to participate in the Super Bowl.
Suffice to say you need to start paying closer attention to what is happening out there. But don't worry, things are rapidly getting better, much better. 😊
Illegal gangs!! Really, you can't make this stuff up.
He did clearly state "based on no information". I think stevek is just trying to antagonize reasonable people, which is fine in this environment.
It's "illegals" gangs. Which was clearly stated
Yea, just pretend they don't exist. Would be nice to live in your fantasy world. LOL
I think the right way to classify them is as a "criminal gang". The "alien" or "illegal" association is unnecessary. It forces me to assume that if these "gangs" did not include any "illegals" that they would be fine. No one says "legal gangs are terrorizing the countryside". To reference illegals makes it a political statement, and intelligent people don't make political statements.
They got Hurricanes qb (just transferred from Georgia) Carson Beck's new place in Miami recently as well. Evidently he has a very nice car collection.
Dodgers players have been having their houses robbed during games for years now.
Problem with being a pro athlete is everyone knows when you arent home. They wait for the athletes to go to a game to do it.
Unless something isnt being said its unlikely this was one of those cases with his pacemaker stopping almost two weeks ago. It sounds kinda like he might have died then she killed herself
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
The question no one is asking is how the Illegals Gangs are able to control the pacemakers of aged celebrities. This is not only based on no information but it may even contain wild speculation. I think that they’re using space lasers.
Yet another thread veers off the road, into a ravine, flips over a few times and explodes. All of this nonsense over a sad ending to a great man's life of achievement.
RIP Gene Hackman. You were a fabulous actor.
Always in the market for game used kinesiology tape and smelly socks.
One dog found dead in closet, two dogs found alive that had access to outside. Reported on news.
what if they show up in a flying saucer?
I assume the dog will have an autopsy as well. Possibly consumed by accident some fallen off the counter pills. Since gas leak or carbon monoxide has been ruled out a different cause of death to the dog will be determined. Possibly natural causes coincidence. Don't think the wife had anything to do with the dogs death.
