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.

My brother and I have already had the idea that either I will build a single bed apartment for my mom with us, or he’ll move his family into our family house and have her take to downstairs bedroom when the stairs become too much. No way in hell we’re putting her in a home or letting her stay solo once she gets into her 80s.
