Gene Hackman’s Daughter Shares Details About Death Investigation

Gene Hackman’s Daughter Questions If There Was ‘Suffering’ Before Death

  1. TLDR:

    * “I think I’m very anxious to find out what happened and I just don’t know how long they had been deceased,” Leslie shared with Us Weekly, “[The authorities] don’t know yet either.”
    * “The police did call the fire department to come out to check,” she told *Us*. “That was one of the things they thought might have happened [was] carbon monoxide because the dog was found dead as well.”
    * Leslie confirmed a concerned neighbor called police and authorities have questioned if carbon monoxide poisoning was a factor.
    * “Someone, the HOA maybe, hadn’t heard from Betsy in a couple weeks so they went over and saw the dogs were loose. There was one dog inside the house [deceased] and one or two loose [dogs] inside the yard, so they called the police to do a welfare check.”
    * According to Leslie, the circumstances of the couple’s deaths are “very strange,” and to her knowledge there was “no indication of any problem in their house” in the more than 30 years they lived in New Mexico. “There’s never been an issue,” she told Us.

  2. Basically nothing and another click bait article

  3. Pure speculation: Could be the wife collapsed in the bathroom while getting up or ready for bed (taking morning/night medicine would explain the pill spill).

    No one has said if he was cognitively well or not. Maybe discovered her down and he was leaving to get help. At 95 years old the shock of it all could have caused a heart attack or something sudden.

    I wonder if they’ll find a working cell phone anywhere near either of them. If Hackman did have any cognitive or significant physical frailty issues, a phone could have been be hard to operate, so in his mind he needed to rush outside to summon assistance. Maybe he made it only as far as the mud room and collapsed either from the shock or a physical fall in his haste.

  4. I’m not trying to shame anyone but I’m curious about when the last time it was his daughter spoke to either of them? At 95 years old I’d expect family to be checking in on him (and them) regularly. I’m surprised it took a neighbor to call the authorities after a couple of weeks.

  5. 🙁 I wonder if she had been dead because she was ill and he was taking care of her in a sense because that’s a long time to be together and lose someone. The stress and denial could have done him in. Ugh. I just hope it was natural/explainable and not something sinister. So sad.

  6. How come people weren’t visiting them or checking in on them regularly

  7. With all those children did none of them talk to him often if they suspect they passed a few weeks ago??

  8. The rampant, wild speculation in this thread is awful b

  11. Surprised they didn’t have cleaning staff or gardeners, or someone to come over and scoop poop.

  13. Has his daughter not been in touch with him? They were supposedly dead for a couple of weeks?… my sisters and I at least text/ call every couple of days.
