Gene Hackman died one week after his wife
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.
What a nightmare. Imagine discovering your dead wife over and over again for a whole week.
It’s entirely likely he never understood what he saw, if he ever saw her before passing away, considering he was said to have advanced Alzheimer’s disease.
I feel so bad for the puppy. Spending 3 days trying to let your owner know you desperately need to go to the toilet... then need a drink... then need food...
Only for the old bloke to maybe give you a pat as he walks by completely oblivious to the fact you're doing. He's dying. His wife is already dead.
Just horrible.
