People is reporting that she did undergo liver transplant, but not sure if that was a cause or is verified.

It is being reported on TMZ that Gene Hackman was found dead along with his wife and dog after a welfare check on them in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home. No cause is being stated yet. I wonder if it was a case of carbon monoxide.
What a good long life he had and what a great career! He was 95.
So sad to hear about Michelle Trachtenberg!

That would be the way to go if I was 95, but his poor wife was only 63.

I just read that now the deaths are "suspicious", open pills by wife's body, and no evidence of gas leak, 2 other dogs alive, and she appears to have been deceased for awhile.

And they weren't found "along side" each either, like the news had been saying.
His wife and dog were in the bathroom, and Gene was in the mud room.

Ugh. I initially thought some kind of gas leak or carbon monoxide poisoning. The pills and two other living animals certainly sounds suspicious.

It ends up Gene Hackman's wife died from something called Hantavirus.
"Hantavirus, found throughout the world, is spread by contact with rodents or their urine or feces. It does not spread between people."

Yes I also read that she may have died first and Gene, who had Alzheimer's, may not have realized she was dead.

I had a college friend who later worked at the CDC on hantavirus. We are talking 1970's. He would have cured it if he could. I suspected the wife likely died first, and he was unable to know it, The whole thing is tragic.

She definitely died first and he spent days alone there but may not have known she was dead, due to his advanced Alzheimer's situation plus his heart. They do know when his pacemaker last detected a heartbeat.

Richard Chamberlain passed away Saturday just a couple days short of his 91st birthday. I particularly liked him in Shogun. 😢
