Gene Hackman died of cardiovascular disease about a week after his wife died of hantavirus, according to the New Mexico medical examiner.

Gene Hackman, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, lived in the house with his dead wife for a week before he died.

Of the three dogs living in the house, one died because it was locked in a carrier and therefore probably starved to death. The two free-living dogs were the only ones to survive.

      That’s what I thought too. It’s very sad.

      Reminds me of that case in the UK where a dad suffered a heart attack and his 2 year old child died from dehydration. As a dad that one made a tear come to my eye.
