All 3 died at once no foul play? :lol


Why are you doing hashtags now?

Because it could be carbon monoxide poisoning.

[Phoenix]

I was up at 4am and saw this trending live on my YT feed. What a tragedy :(

First though is a gas leak in the absence of foul play evidence( so far).

[SouBeachTalents]

Why are you doing hashtags now?
Not to make light of this story, but this cracked me up :lol Esp with how redundant they were.

Based off that preliminary report, carbon monoxide poisoning would be the most likely cause.

[diamenz]

murder suicide.

either that or trump.

[Off the Court]

God damn covid vaccine. They listened to their doctor but not to me, I tried to warn everyone.

[Off the Court]

Real talk though, if two humans and a dog are all found dead without any signs of trauma? I'm trying to figure out what else it could be other than gas.

Maybe some type of weird food poisoning if they were feeding the dog under the table, but that seems unlikely.



Sad stuff, Gene was 95 though so not too bad for him. His wife was only 63 though. Most of us are living with carbon monoxide in our homes, crazy to think this could happen to almost any of us at any given time.

Sound plausible. If even a dog is dead with no real foul play, leaked gas is very possible.

[Off the Court]

Sheeeesh. Looking at recent pics of Gene, the aging process is a very sad thing. I can barely even recognize him at 95. So old. :(

His wife married him in 1991, and at that point in time I'm sure he had plenty of youthful energy. But her in her 60s? It looks like she was basically just a nursing home worker.

A 30-year age separation is just too much.

[Patrick Chewing]

Oh look the “supposed” Filipino with dial-up internet with another BREAKING NEWS celebrity update.

Eh. Big name Hollywood actors can. See Leonardo Di Caprio.

[Hey Yo]

Very sad news. He dropped out of school at age 16 and ventured to NY looking to take up acting.

I remember seeing (on HBO) The Poseidon Adventure (the original one) when I was like 15 and thought it was such a cool movie. Of course Hoosiers was really good. We lost a great actor today... RIP Mr. Hackman.

Yeah lots of people can, doesn't mean they should.

Michael Douglas and Katherine Zeta-Jones are going through that now. When she first married him he could do stuff. But now? She can see that it isn't long until she will have to be spoon feeding him while she is still fully active.

I think 15ish years apart is okay. But once you get over a 20 year difference? That is too hard of a drop off.

[hiphopanonymous]

What a suspiciously hasty no foul play conclusion considering his wife was what, 30+ years his junior? and the dog also died at the same time?

And as for CO poisoning, their networth was over 80 million. Typical large mountain top / hill top warm climate home and habitat they lived in I guarantee is miles beyond the average persons in terms of spaciousness / fresh air flow - maintenance of all furnace / plumbing / gaslines etc and is almost certainly well beyond code safety with redundancies, and creature comforts. You think he tolerated shit like sketchy aging furnace pipes that normally would dump CO in a tiny poor persons living space?

These are the typical kinds of poorly maintained small homes that happens in (actual CO leaking home from a news report):

But that custom mansion in on a hillside probably has 10 gas related functions to every 1 that the rural shit home has which is on a suburban grid.

And if foul play does exist? I bet it is someone that gassed them. Because how else can you explain 2 dead humans 1 dead dog with no forced entry and no sign of trauma?

Don't know what the explanation is but my gut would say it's definitely worth investigating, but by police declaring it wasn't foul play there likely won't be an investigation

They are definitely investigating how they died. But have just noted that they do not believe any foul play was involved.

[GOBB]

The investigation is on going. Early reports was there were no signs of foul play ie trauma, house broken in etc They did not rule out homicide etc Thry also contacted gas company to come out and check to make sure it was safe for sheriffs who wanted to do a further search. So they wouldnt be at danger.

Relax, more information will be revealed as time comes on. And we will know what happened.

[GOBB]

Chances are Gene met this chick in her early 20’s. That’s funny, creepy and for some ignorant reason I want to say that’s typical of white men with Asian women. I’m sure that could be a thing of older men just wanting younger/youthful women. We’ve see it with other races of men. Just saying old white man and young Asian seems to be more of a match than any other race. 30 years is a significant age gap. Fools can be weird especially in Hollywood. So long as you keep your nose clean and do the right things. These type of relationships can be swept under rug or eyes closed.

asian women fawn over white men - even the average ones are gods to them. the majority of asian women don't even want their own men and a lot of them actively shame them for their short, feminine stature, small d1cks and submissive personalities. i knew this chinese chick years ago that refused to date asian men and referred to them as "little boys".

in the younger neighborhoods of chicago it's rare that you see an asian woman with an asian man anymore - they're all about the white dudes. asian men getting cucked hard - they're more or less a dying breed.

Huge discrepancies between the Asian countries, but a lot of the time it's ugly white men that marry Asian. White men that pull rarely marry Asian women. Honestly it's usually white dudes that look like Gene Hackman.

There are exceptions obviously. But an ugly white guy can still pull a younger Asian woman who are attractive and submissive. Mail order. To me it usually signals that the white guy was a nerdy outcast in high school. And probably a dude that has a weird fetish.

Arakawa’s body was found on the floor of a bathroom. A space heater was near her head and a bottle of prescription pills was located on the counter, the warrant says.


The responding deputy believes the heater “could have fallen in the event the female abruptly fell to the ground.” The pills from the bottle were “scattered on the counter-top,” it says. A German shepherd was found about 10 feet from her in a closet in the bathroom.


Hackman was found dead in a mudroom near the kitchen, according to the warrant. It states that the deputy believes he may have suddenly fallen.


Both bodies showed "obvious signs of death," the warrant states. Arakawa's also showed signs of "body decomposition."


Two other dogs were found alive on the property; one was in the bathroom with Arakawa and the other was outside the home.



So both of them seemingly suddenly fell and died. Gene's wife probably passed faster than Gene. Still looks like some kind of gas poisoning to me.


The fire department conducted testing but “did not locate signs of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning,” the warrant states.

Gotta wait for thorough investigation to find the actual cause, it seems.

[SouBeachTalents]

So one of the dogs that was presumably in the house at the time survived?

Very interesting.

[ArbitraryWater]

I feel like they just decided to die together? like she didnt wanna go on without him, and with his death imminent, she joined?
The other dog though..

I'm just saying... I know I must've misremembered it, which is often if not always the case with the Mandela Effect...

but I had a serious glitch in the Matrix with Gene Hackman's death today.


I swear I remember looking at his resume years ago on imdb and thinking to myself he had a good run... I reviewed the Gene Hackman collection years ago.

He must've announced that he was retiring from acting is why I did that, or something... but I could've sworn it was because he died.





Was talking to a friend the other day about what year it was when Bernie Mac died... which I thought was more recent than it was.

care to take a guess without googling it what year Bernie Mac died?

you were much closer than I was... I thought it was more recent... like 2015

I was shocked to find out how long ago it really was.

[John8204]

So...he dies likely of natural causes cause y'know 95. She likely kills herself...one dog starves to death, a second dog likely ate the body of Betsy and the third dog was running free around the estate.

But the key points here are...nobody worked at that estate. He had three adult children none of them did daily checkins with their 95 year old father. The pest control guy found the bodies.

How embarrassing is it that none of the children noticed.. what a disgrace.

Why are you quick to pass judgement from the comfort of your recliner? You don’t know much about their relationship with their dad.

[SouBeachTalents]

Investigators are claiming they might've already been dead for 1-2 weeks, they must've been reclusive as fvck for that to happen.

Yes, and the children probably didn't think check-ins where that necessary when a 63 year old wife is looking after him.

Going a couple weeks without talking to your parents isn't that disgraceful. A couple months? okay. But a couple weeks? no

I am sure they feel disgraced though.

wife found in bathroom with pill bottles open apparently.

Why is FOX "BUSINESS" opining on this? weird

[Off the Court]

Maybe she felt responsible for Gene's death, like she accidently left him alone in the mud room and he over heated and died. And then through her guilt and shame she OD suicided.

[diamenz]

the more i think about this the more it becomes clear that the cartel are the ones responsible.

The children were probably wishing for him to die for the inheritance. They got their wish now since the wife is now dead too. No splitting up the assets to a lady 30 years younger than him.

You are an idiot. If you are going to assume something,

Its more likely the other way around. She died from OD, then gene was too weak to get out of the mud room and died.

How do you even know its a suicide? There's no evidence of that clown.

She's 60 and he's 95. She got that gold coming in 1-3 years. Why would she commit suicide for? Love? when she's 30 years younger?

The 60 year old woman committing suicide over a dead dog that most likely ate the pills that fell over.

good thing you arent in forensics or working.

[Off the Court]

They found pills spilled all around her you f@#king retard :facepalm

She would do that because she accidently left the love of her life in the hot mud room and he died.

[TeflonDonTrump]

Lets say what you said is true. So he died in the mud room, then she comes in the mud room to see him dead. instead of dragging him out of the mud room or call the cops immediately, she immediately goes and commits suicide while leaving his body in the mud room still. RIGHTTTTT

This is the love of her life and she just left his body in the mud room. That doesn't even make any sense.

Lets say your momma died in the bath tub and you walk upstairs to her room from you basement. Are you going to call the cops right away and move her body out of the tub to see if she is responsive first while waiting for the paramedics? But with your IQ, you would just leave her in the tub and walk out and commit suicide.

Yes she felt responsible and immediately wanted to rejoin him. Which is much more plausible then whatever retarded non-suicide theory you have that magically ends up with her having spilled pills all around her :oldlol:

You have the IQ of a tiny monkey. And you assume all of his children are greedy money hungry dolts who wanted their father dead because that describes YOU. It's called projecting.

[ArbitraryWater]

Im not sure why Teflon is getting upset over a theory.. these are all stabs in the dark as the entire situation is strange. I dont think she killed herself out of guilt, but, cmon now, its just a theory, no one was attacked :lol

Help what? You literally do not know their relationship. Just throwing shyt up against a wall and hoping it sticks. You’re also supposed to take care of your kids and be there for them growing up. Which Gene failed at. And this isn’t speculation but merely facts. Guess his children should’ve moved in with their 95yr old pops. Yanno to be there in case he kicked the bucket so they could offer assistance. What a disgrace. Smh

[BurningHammer]

Yes she felt responsible and immediately wanted to rejoin him.

Shouldn't she call emergency or police when she discovered if that was the case?

I'm sure she tried those things, then realized he's gone, and felt like it was her fault.

Maybe it was her fault.

She was shaking so hard she spilled pills all over the room. Which explains that.

No reason to call authorities, they might even prevent her from dying.


But you think through all that she' be like "hmm, maybe I should bring the mail inside before I kill myself." ? :oldlol:

[Off the Court]

I mean, if she didn't kill herself, what is your explanation to her being dead with pills around her? :oldlol:

[Off the Court]

The only other scenario I can dream up, is that maybe she was in such shock after seeing her husband dead, that her heart went into cardiac arrest and the pills she spilled everywhere were her heart pills she was trying to take.

64 isn't exactly young, plenty of people have heart attacks at that age.

But I bet her toxicology will show an OD.

[ArbitraryWater]

"bro what do you mean she found him dead and then suicided, wouldnt she have called the cops?!"

No we are literally presuming the possibility she didnt and offed herself, given that she was, you know, dead.

[Proctor]

I mean, if she didn't kill herself, what is your explanation to her being dead with pills around her? :oldlol:
Okay, but why was one of their dogs found dead in a closet?

That part really fvcks with some of the more believable theories.

Why let one roam and leave another trapped in a closet? Bizarre.

Hackman is believed to have died on Feb. 17 -- nine days before he and his wife were discovered dead -- Mendoza also said Friday, noting that was the date of the last recorded "event" on his pacemaker. That is believed to have been Hackman's "last day of life," the sheriff said, noting that it is still unclear when Arakawa died.

All reports said that he was close with his kids.
Not a lovely way to die, but he was 95. He lived a full, privileged life.

Hoosiers is probably the best Basketball movie of all time.



and I know we all dislike Will Smith... but Enemy of the State is severely underrated.

I have Blue Chips ahead of Hoosiers simply cause of Nick Nolte. Both great basketball movies.

[GOBB]

White men can’t jump, He got Game. Rebound the Earl Manigault story.

[Chick Stern]

Unpopular opinion - A League of Their Own is a great sports movie.

Nick Nolte is 84... he's gonna be on his way out here soon.

Glory Road, The Way Back, Coach Carter

idk... not a very good list of basketball movies.

Hoosiers above all of them... and easily Hackman's best movie.


if we allowed AIR to be included in the category... I'd say AIR is better than Hoosiers... but AIR is more about business and less about basketball.

[Meticode]

That's not an unpopular opinion at all to me. Anyone that's ever watched it (men or women) that I know personally likes that movie very much. And most online lists it's Top 25 in greatest sports movies ever. For me it was a good blend of comedy and exaggerated real-life happenings that the real Dottie Hinson said was glorified. Which is fine, it's "based" off a true story.

There's not any other movie out there you get to see a prime looking Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O'donnell and sprinkle in Jon Lovitiz who was funny in the beginning.

It’s not his best movie unless that’s the only movie you saw of his. French Connection, The Conversation are the two stand out movies that can be considered his best work. Seems you have a lot of nostalgia attached to Hoosiers. But Gene had some better roles in his long career.

[Off the Court]

Okay, but why was one of their dogs found dead in a closet?

That part really fvcks with some of the more believable theories.

Why let one roam and leave another trapped in a closet? Bizarre.

I do not think the dog was trapped in the closet. I think we can assume the closet door was open. The dog just went in there to starve to death and die.

I can't with most Tony Scott movies way too many cuts and edits. Hoosiers is fine but Hackman was better in noirs/westerns.

Baseball has a lot of great movies, Basketball has virtually none.

Really the only great basketball movies are documentaries or ones that deal with aspects of them (Air, Uncut Gems, White Men Can't Jump).

The movie has very little to do with Shaq. Stop being a bitter old dyke.

Turns out off the hinge is retarded with the depressed lover suicide angle.

Wife died a week prior from rat poop and then gene died from being left in the mud room after a heart attack

Gene was in deep Alzheimer so he likely couldn't take care of himself for a whole week and died. :(

[Off the Court]

My guess was legit and as good as anyone else's.

I don't think anyone had "rat poop" on their detective notes.

And TBH I find it strange that Gene, even with Alzheimer's, walked around the house with a dead wife in it for 1 week. Dead bodies smell super pungent. Like extremely strong. Also the pills spilled around everywhere?

You mustn’t know how debilitating Alzheimer’s is. It’s worse than being a newborn baby. Your brain is so far gone there is nothing remotely left of who you used to be.

My grandmother fell and broke her leg in the backyard one time and the only person with her at the time was my grandfather who had full blown Alzheimer’s. She lay on the ground for hours before we found her. We found her at night. She kept asking my grandfather to bring her a blanket to cover her cause she was cold and all he did was bring her a belt. There is no comprehension of the world around you when you have Alzheimer’s. So it would have been pretty normal for Gene to be walking around the house with a dead body rotting away in the other room and there was no way for him to comprehend what was going on.

I guessed she died from from an od and gene died alone without care.

You guessed gene died. The wife became so distraught that she forgot to call the cops and tried to take gene out of the mud room and instead committed suicde. Thats how farfetched you are

Which was way less far fetched than what really happened. She died of poop.

Think about this though, I came up with a theory and you became overly angry and upset and triggered by the theory. :oldlol:

Its not about dying from poop. Its your sequence of events that are farfetched. Thank god you don't work in forensics or even work for that matter.

That a dead woman with pills spilled about her might have killed herself? :roll:

Imagine had I said "she probably died of rat poop exposure"

What needs to be examined is why the suicide theory triggered yourself to near suicide.

I just think you are retarded and overly emotional like a typical libtard. Seeing her lover die, instead of trying to resuscitate or call the cops, she goes and kills herself. Who thinks like that?

I mean to be fair it was kinda ridiculous to think that his wife was so distraught with grief that her 95
year old husband died that she had to suicide. There can't be much shock value in losing a near 100 year old. You don't think she was ready for that stage? Your take on Alzheimers was way off from reality too...but that's alright, you either have seen it or you haven't. BigKobeFan/Teflondontrump isn't exactly a detective either, I don't think anyone here knows WTF he's even trying to say, his words sound so broken and stupid.

But yes, you are correct that the posters going on and on about it are the drug addicts of ISH.

[Off the Court]

Women commit suicide all the time, for much less than losing a husband. Depression is real. When they revealed pills spilled everywhere, the angle seemed like the best fit. What other angle was there? Rat poop?

What were the other wrong theories in here? Or was I the only one who bothered to come up with something?

We should thank the for profit health care system in keeping a man alive for 95 years

In countries that aren't profit driven elderly people get checked in on at least once a day. In the US with our 42 in the world life expectancy money is shuffled around in LLC's to avoid going to patients and patient care. Which is ontop of private equity companies.

Also your tax money is going to people who run elder homes and charge rent to themselves...because apparently this is legal. So we have a system that's incredibly expensive but the money doesn't go to care for the elderly. The nurse/patient ratio in some places is 60-1. It's not normal to have a system that is that expensive yet the money isn't there to do daily wellness checks on 90 year olds.

And this is going to happen to you, because the system is not getting better. This guy had millions of dollars and three adult children and they didn't bother to take care of him. What do you think your odds are.

The dude has a 60 something year old wife and 3 adult children. The system didn't fail him. His family did.

[Off the Court]

No one failed him, he was 95 years old and had alzheimer's so bad that he didn't realize his wife was dead in his home. He wouldn't even know his own kids. It was his time to go. Past due even.

So he left $80mil to his wife but since she died the money goes to charity and not his children lol

Wife predeceased the husband. Therefore Gene gets everything after wife died even if the will or trust gave everything to the wife. Does the successor beneficiary say "charity" or next of kin?

I think the lawyer here is challenging the part regarding "simultaneous death". The reasoning for this is 50% share vs. 100% share, which is $40m of disputed funds.

Since the kids are not mentioned in the will or trust, that means it goes to probate since there's no more existing beneficiary listed in the will.
