    Saw some updated pictures of the Hackman-Arakawa residence, it would be shocking if it wasn't so sad and tragic.

    Having wealth and resources does not exempt one from life’s troubles. Many such persons end up living out their lives alone (by choice or circumstance) without family and/or friends support. As one’s physical and/or mental abilities/health declines they can end up living and dying alone in situations similar to Gene Hackman and his wife.

    Very sad.

    Yea, I saw that pic a few days ago. Seems like both had a hoarding disorder or whatever it's called.

    It can get to a point with a hoarder, especially when they have declining mental faculties, that they begin hoarding everything, and throw away nothing, including keeping their garbage. It appears that may have been the case with the Hackmans.
