Sad to hear this story of Gene Hackman & his wife's death, even though was from natural causes. And that poor dog !
Isolation (even if not by choice) has such risks.
Friends & fam are busy or far to visit daily. Social entrepreneurs should come up with things to make senior citizen's lives a better.

I’m happy you have people now. Let’s enjoy what we still have. 🥂😊
Followed you because of your art!
Even a quick call or text asking if they were ok or needed anything.
It could have also been their choice to be so solitary.
It’s just so sad.
Their story broke my heart.
Either coast,IDK any HNW(GH=$100Mil) w/o at least a FT housekeeper(&🧑🍳/nurse).
3story custom-built manse atop 12ac no staff? Wife same age as kids,most speak freq w95yr Ps(esp rich ones). But a 64&95yrs(w Alzheimer’s)in total isolation&no help is odd.Dead for weeks&mummified?
I work in a field all about stopping people being socially isolated. I used to love my job, but now I am looking for the exit. We're slowly succumbing to the death of a thousand cuts, and instead of fighting that my workplace is just busy steadily imploding.
I really wish someone would replace fb w/ something for local communities
And atm FB is do well established and 'everyone is there' . Next door is not a thing here :( . Everything from individuals requesting help for themselves or neighbours and village governance is there , plus wider community stuff . impetus is not there for change :(

This brought up a conversation about his parents. Fortunately they're active enough that if they disappeared someone would notice.
