We don’t know whether he died instantly or died of dehydration after lying there for a few days, or similar. |
Not at all. But I can tell you wouldn't understand and don't have close feelings for a parent. |
+1 Exactly |
Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie from Natl Lampoon) thinks Gene was murdered. He is posting all about it on X. |
But the dog and wife died too. All at the same time? They ruled out monoxide and nat gas. Poisoned? On purpose? And dog happened to eat it too? |
It sounds like the dog was crated. If you crate a dog for 9 days they will die of dehydration. |
He is a conspiracy theorist nutter. This is from 2021 but it’s full of receipts. https://www.vice.com/en/article/randy-quaid-is-the-most-bizarre-choice-for-california-governor-recall-election-maybe/ |
I find it strange too. My parents are not famous or wealthy, but they have a home aid come in every day for 8 hours. |
+1 It's why loving relatives check on their elderly family members often. |
What do we know about the wife? Was she his main caregiver with no help? Double suicide or homicide and a suicide? Very strange. |
Sounds like she was the main caregiver with no help. Since no family has stepped up to make a statement, it sounds like they were quite isolated. |
Reading between the lines in the family statement, his children didn't mention anything about their step mother. They likely didn't have much of a relationship with her, and thus, especially if he had dementia or some other decline in mental functioning, talking with him on the phone might have been difficult. |
I'm very paranoid about something happening to me and the dog being left unattended for days before someone realizes something is amiss. I'm more worried about the dog than myself. |
+2 check on any aged family members especially if they live alone, because something could happen at any age. |
And I can tell that your kids won’t be checking in on you in your dotage. Maybe if you dangle money at them… but I still doubt it. |
