RIP Gene Hackman

The official cause of death is out now, and CO would have been better. Apparently she died of hantavirus around Feb 11. The pills around her were thyroid medication and weren’t a factor in her death. He died of high blood pressure & heart disease Feb 18. He also had advanced Alzheimer’s, so may not have really been aware she was dead. The dog may have starved to death, but that hasn’t been fully investigated yet. It had some sort of procedure on Feb 9, which may have been why it was crated.

Kind of makes you re-think individual home care for dementia & Alzheimer’s patients, doesn’t it?

My wife was pissed when she read the cause of death. As a nurse and the daughter of a soon to be 80 year old mom, she can't believe that the family was so negligent that they went undiscovered for almost two weeks when you factor in the wife's death.

Yeah, a 90+ year old with heart problems and advanced Alzheimer’s would be a full time job…and probably more than a 60+ person can handle alone.
