Something odd here being reported about the wife appearing to have been dead longer than Gene and an open pill bottle nearby with pills spilled out…two live dogs and one dead dog…?
Gas Co did find gas leak or detectable CO…

Authorities are now saying their deaths are suspicious.

Gene Hackman and wife were 'deceased for quite a while' before bodies were discovered as deaths called 'suspicious'

Sheriff Adan Mendoza said there were no obvious signs of foul play, but authorities are not ruling anything out as the investigation continues.

lol they just now think it’s suspicious? An entire house of people died at the same time, I think it’s a bit odd too

I want to avoid speculation, but I don't think it was a murder suicide deal.

As a dog owner I have to think what it must've been like for them. One dies of something and it probably wasn't pleasant and the other 2 were left roaming around with likely no food or water.

Gene tested negative for CO…

Gene Hackman spent one year at my dad's hometown in Iowa.
In my dad's high school senior 1945 annual, here is the 10 th grade
class group picture with Gene in the top left.

A very odd set of events, but I'm glad there are answers and relieved that the circumstances were nothing that would sully his deserved reputation as one of the greatest actors in cinema.

What a terrible ending for all of them. So sad.

I didn't want to speculate but I was wondering if at least part of it was an age related problem like Dementia.
