Yes, sad info. News reported that he, his 65 year old wife and their dog were found dead after a welfare check at his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. They don't suspect foul play, so I'm guessing carbon monoxide?

Folks, check your heating devices!

Everything Gene Hackman did was made better by him being there. RIP

I always liked Mr Hackman, but so strange all three of them dead.

 

[Weedygarden]

Wow, he lived a long life.

Strange that the 3 of them were all deceased at the same time. Maybe not foul play, but maybe carbon monoxide or something similar.

Another star who lives in Santa Fe, or the Santa Fe area. I didn't know he lived there, but I do know that other well known people live in the area. Real Estate in Santa Fe has been expensive for a long time and I think the homes were required to be built of adobe at one time, maybe they still are. Outside of Santa Fe proper, adobe is not required.

He had a marvelous body of work. If he was in it you know there would be at least one great performance.

God Rest His Soul, and prayers to all his friends and family. He will be sorely missed.

I read one place that they were all dead two weeks before they were found. Also, there was prescription type bottle/container open on the counter with pills spilled all over the counter and floor. None of that may be true.

Or it might be true.

Ditto all of the above.

I suspect it is accurate. They said the bodies were bloated, consistent with death weeks prior. The pills may or NOT be relevant to cause of death.

Well, there's Val Kilmer and of course, Epstein's Ranch where he brought young girls

Weird...............NO carbon monoxide

A person who identified himself as a caretaker called 911 to report he found two bodies that would later be identified as actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa. CNN’s Boris Sanchez reports.

This was an email form the place where I bought my phone recently.

If you didn't know, actor Gene Hackman passed away yesterday. His filmography is stacked with quality movies: The French Connection, Young Frankenstein, Superman, Hoosiers, Unforgiven, and Crimson Tide are just a few of the highlights. Among my favorites are two movies that are loosely connected: The Conversation and Enemy of the State. The first movie centers around a surveillance expert who wiretaps people. Hackman plays an intensely private and solitary man, which is ironic considering his occupation. The supporting cast is excellent, with John Cazale, Robert Duvall, and Harrison Ford in one of his first movie roles. It was written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and was nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay. The second movie is an unofficial sequel to the first. In Enemy of the State, Gene Hackman portrays a retired spy who is trying to keep away from society and his old life. Will Smith finds himself in trouble, and seeks out Hackman for assistance, who is reluctant to enter back into the world of surveillance. It was directed by Tony Scott, who is best known for directing Top Gun and Days of Thunder. While there's no official connection between the two movies, it's easy to picture Hackman's character in Enemy of the State as an extension of The Conversation. The characters he plays have different names, but obviously if you're going to drop out of society you would change your name, right? It has been a while since I have seen either film, but I highly recommend both for a look at what the surveillance state is capable of, and the effect that it has on people. Enemy of the State was made 30 years ago, and virtually everything in it has come true. It's frightening to think what capabilities exist now, with smartphones, drones, AI, and everything else. So if you're looking for something to watch this weekend, you can't go wrong with either movie. Then go and get yourself a de-googled phone. https://privatephoneshop.com

He has children.

Bummer. The investigation will be interesting. It doesn't look like he was doing very well. Dick Van Dyke is almost a hundred and looks better than that.
