My mother is older than Hackman and I don’t call her every day or every week. She’s busy and so am I. Get over your judgmental small minded selves.

So she could die, and you wouldn't know for a week?

DP, but so what? Mom is still dead regardless of whether you know the minute after it happens or a month later.

We don’t know whether he died instantly or died of dehydration after lying there for a few days, or similar.

+1 Exactly

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.

+1 It's why loving relatives check on their elderly family members often.

+2 check on any aged family members especially if they live alone, because something could happen at any age.

You people are f—king ghouls. He was MARRIED TO and LIVING WITH a woman the SAME AGE as his kids! Stop blaming his kids for this you morons.

Presumably, they had their cell phones in their pocket. Neither Gene or wife Betsy called for help?

Curious what their cell phones will reveal

If you read between the lines from the statements from their kids, they said specifically that Gene Hackman had been "physically" well. They didn't say anything about mentally. So he may not have been capable of making a phone call. His wife was his kids' age so they might not have thought that her death was a remote possibility. And, I mean, dropping dead at 63 is not unheard of but is somewhat unusual.

Reports indicate Genes pacemaker stopped working on 2/17, but if he was still alive, despite his pacemaker not working (and you can very much function short term w/o one) he should've called for help given he woukd have felt "off" (dizzy, weak, etc).

IF he were cognitively ok

This is why you need a call button watch to call the authorities if you fall. They even have ones that detect if you fell and are not moving. They were very wealthy and could afford the best system. It's so sad what happened to them. They obviously needed more help. Such a terrible way to die. RIP.

Yep, even most smart watches have a setting to call for help if it detects a fall in combination of a low pulse or a similar detection system.


I'm actually more intrigued about the wife. Yes, there were prescription pills (but what 60+ yr old doesn't have prescribed pills).

Where was her body found?

And why were the dog(s) in a crate? Were they puppies? Were Gene and Betsy about to leave for somewhere and didn't trust the dog w/o a crate?
That doesn't seem right. Doesn't make sense.

She was found in the bathroom. Only one dog was crated.

It’s a sad way to go, but realistically he was 95. How much longer was he going to live?

I wasn't blaming the kids or saying it should have been them to do the checking.

In an interview with one of his Santa Fe friends of 30 years, the friend said Gene didn't have a cell phone or email, so all communication went through his wife. If Betsy had some sort of cardiac/health event, Gene may have locked up the dog, then gone to get help and unfortunately, had a fall/his own medical crisis.

I meant being dead for 10 days without being found.
