I did hear that this morning that it may be cm poisoning. Made me think to check my batteries in my detectors.

Take time every day to enjoy where you are without a need to fix it

to me--finding both of them and their dog dead--sounds pretty foul to me--wonder if was murder-suicide.

This is sad news indeed. I really loved his work, one of my favorites was The Birdcage. I was surprised he was 95 he didn't look it. It is definatley suspicious, and my thought is either a suicide pact or carbon monoxide, for all 3 to be pass away together. RIP

Wow - I just read this from a feed I got on my tablet. Almost not believable but I guess it is true. 

 

RIP all three - Mr Hackman, his wife and their beloved dog.

NBC News just now reporting that it does not appear to have been a gas leak.

 

The bodies were discovered in a state of decomposition according to this news report, death possibly two weeks before discovery.  Explains why a neighbor requested a wellness check.
