Him, his wife and his dog found dead in the house ? Carbon Monoxide, possibly? Shame. I had no idea the guy was that old.

They just got through saying that foul play was not suspected. It'd be nice if you could not slander the dead.

#52Drop your favourite Hackman movies! Heres mine: --= The Conversation (1979) =-- "Schizo surveillance guy gets a contract that starts to derail things" is the basic premise, but there is more going on - "it has layers". Francis Ford Coppola filmed this in between Godfather I & II. I believe it is less famous only because the target audience is smaller, not due to its quality. The editing is perfect, the pacing just ri…
I actually like Welcome to Mooseport. It's nothing special, but it's a pretty tame comedy from the start of the end of the, imo, golden comedy era.

>not suspected
lol, It's all speculation. No one knows anything at this point. Have there been cases in the past where the police initially announce no foul play was suspected and then have it turn out to be that foul play was indeed involved? We can imagine so.
And there is no slander here. None. So what on Earth are you even talking about?

#56He was a great actor and seemed like such a great human as well.
Never realized until today, reading his bio that he is a former marine.
Semper Fi. Rest in peace Marine!

Friendly reminder that “most CO detectors use a sensor with a defined, limited lifespan, and will not work indefinitely.”

#58It is strange that I thought he was dead long ago and was surprised to know that he was still alive. Sorry to know that now he passed away for real. Great actor. My favorite Lex Luthor.

The Quick and the Dead for me. His turn as the villian was the best part of that movie.
Enemy of the State is right up there too.

#60Rest in peace. Three deaths (counting the dog) and no foul play. Carbon monoxide?
CO poisoning during cold still weather is not uncommon in old/poor houses heated by gas or oil here in western Europe. What is the weather like in, I assume California, now?
Seems odd it is still fairly common, don't most people have detectors at this point?
