No one ever kills their own dog. Therefore, it's carbon monoxide poisoning.

Lifelong dog owner/lover here and I am in NO WAY condoning this but people have definitely killed their own dogs - you’ve clearly never met a farmer. Or heard anything about our current Secretary of Homeland Security. And there have definitely been murder suicide situations where the murderer has killed the dog as well.

Agree. My first thought, too.

The dog could’ve deceased after the humans. It was a welfare check by a neighbor so they could’ve smelled it?

I was raised on Gene Hackman's films, and in some ways I saw him as a model of what a man should be. Probably why I'm single lol. But no lie, I often lament that they don't make men like him anymore.

Reports say his daughter suspects carbon monoxide.

I feel this too. I’m going to binge Hackman movies now.

One of my happiest childhood memories was coming home from seeing Hoosiers with my family and shooting hoops with my brother until dark.

I have his Oscar winning movie "Unforgiven" on DVD. I'll be watching it again very soon. It's a great movie with him, Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman. Another movie of his that I enjoyed years ago was "The Poseidon Adventure". I haven't seen it in years. Hopefully, it will be broadcast again in honor of him.

Gene Hackman was a top class actor.

Farmers don't usually MURDER their own dogs.

And Republicans in government are obviously a wholly different breed.

The Conversation by Coppola! I think about this movie all the time. It was so weird and so compelling.

Farmers euthanize their own pets... all. the. time.
They would never spend money taking a dog to a vet for that. ]

A search warrant shows that Hackman, his wife and their dog had been dead for some time, and the couple’s bodies were in different rooms when deputies found them during the wellness check, the AP reported.

Hackman was found dead Wednesday in a mudroom, and Arakawa was found dead in a bathroom next to a space heater. There was an open prescription bottle and pills scattered on the countertop near Arakawa, the AP reported.

Seems it could be anything/any combination. In any circumstance, I hope it was a peaceful end for them both.
