Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Awakawa and their dog were found dead in their residence. Foul play was not involved, but there is an active investigation by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.
Gene Hackman was one of the greatest actors I have ever seen. He was great in almost everything. The French Connection, Lex Luthor in Superman, Crimson Tide, No Way Out, The Firm, and Unforgiven.
The man was a giant, and he was a terrific actor. He passed away at the age of 95.
Thank you for everything, Gene. You were truly one of the best.
My first thought was carbon monoxide poisoning. But I guess it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE from NY Post: Gene Hackman’s wife found mummified and bloated by workers who hadn’t seen couple for two weeks:
"Fire department officials who responded to the scene reported finding no signs of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning, according to the report."
