Maybe, maybe not

wiccanmags.bsky.social•10 days ago

So damn sad.

ksadylady.bsky.social•10 days ago

I have a feeling it was a gas leak. Check your carbon monoxide detectors folks!

Birdcage wonderful film rip

hourlyoutrage.bsky.social•10 days ago

Whaaaat?

hourlyoutrage.bsky.social•10 days ago

A true legend. One of the very best screen actors who ever lived, part of a generation of maverick ‘New Hollywood’ (1960s-‘70s) filmmakers.

How sad

janetravis.bsky.social•10 days ago

Maybe a gas leak, or maybe they wanted to go that way, together? The dog didn’t have much say in it whatever caused it. Great natural actor RIP

connolly-lg.bsky.social•10 days ago

Really sad news, a remarkable actor, can't think of a bad film he made.

philderiverina.bsky.social•10 days ago

He'll always be Popeye Doyle to me. 👏👍😬

omegastriver.bsky.social•10 days ago

The article says that he, his wife and his dog all died, but there’s nothing suspicious about it…….

Sure as hell seems pretty suspicious to me.

lkjandersen.bsky.social•10 days ago

They probably mean like "not murder suspicious". Like accidental carbon monoxide poisoning or a fire or something, one of those unfortunate events that happen sometimes.

faben456.bsky.social•10 days ago

not suspicious as in, not murder.

unusualtimeline.bsky.social•10 days ago

Probably all taking drugs. Including the dog.

keliemcwilliams.bsky.social•10 days ago

If they say it’s not suspicious, it means that they know the likely cause. I’d bet carbon monoxide build up in the home or something similar.

punchumgum.bsky.social•10 days ago

Two sick old people in their nineties might wish to die together than in separate nursing facilities. I couldn't blame them for that, and it's not uncommon. And who would leave their beloved dog behind?

lkjandersen.bsky.social•10 days ago

(His wife was 63. They were married since 1991)

punchumgum.bsky.social•10 days ago

She could have had a terminal illness. There must be a reason that the police are being so discreet.

meljomur.bsky.social•10 days ago

Sounds like monoxide poisoning. It seems suspicious to me.

philderiverina.bsky.social•10 days ago

Might have been a heating/cooking gas leak🤷

poucillienny.bsky.social•10 days ago

Foxnews smeared him while he was at a Gasstation!

blshiv.bsky.social•10 days ago

😭😭😭

deffeddie.bsky.social•10 days ago

Accidental Hopefully and wait for official report. Still sad no matter how. 😞 😔 😔

baggiesman.bsky.social•10 days ago

He was 95 and quite possibly committed suicide to avoid expiring from some nasty condition. Judging by the fact his wife and dog were also found dead, that seems to indicate a suicide pact.

liamatsu.bsky.social•10 days ago

or a gas leak… carbon monoxide?

suicides don’t typically include the pets.

baggiesman.bsky.social•9 days ago

I should have shut up! His family suspect CO poisoning…

liamatsu.bsky.social•9 days ago

really? damn, that’s scary. so sad 😢

baggiesman.bsky.social•9 days ago

The story moves on because the police have found no evidence of carbon monoxide…

liamatsu.bsky.social•9 days ago

Oh gosh. It just gets darker, doesn’t it? Damn.

baggiesman.bsky.social•9 days ago

Well, Hitler killed his dog when he committed suicide. I really shouldn't speculate and the truth will be known soon enough. But a carbon monoxide leak would usually affect just one room and the odds of having all 3 in the same room rendered unconscious are not high. Also most houses have CO alarms

liamatsu.bsky.social•9 days ago

You make an excellent point, and I agree, too much speculation at this point is probably not useful nor respectful. Great points though! 🙏

wildbore101.bsky.social•9 days ago

"shouldn't speculate"

farzaneh-f.bsky.social•10 days ago

This is horrible news. I met him in 90’s at my office he was our patient. Rest in peace to all🙏🏼🤍🕊️

handrenmarph.bsky.social•10 days ago

Yes terrible news, a life well lived and Hackman leaves behind an incredible body of amazing work.

garymasson.bsky.social•10 days ago

One of the greatest actors of his generation. A true Hollywood great. He was a very old man and I dearly hope there is nothing untoward here. RIP Mr Hackman

So sad, great actor in some great movies
