Rip Thread

Seems a little odd that he & wife -along with their dog- all died at the same time?

 

Police Department have supposedly said no foul play; suspicion of CO poisoning.

Whatever the cause, RIP Gene, superb actor, The French Connection, Mississippi Burning, Enemy of the State and Crimson Tide being amongst my favourites. And I didn’t realise he was USMC in his younger years.

 

CO was the first thing that came to mind for me.

RIP

 

There was a photo of him i saw a few weeks ago. He didn't look a well man at all.

 

RIP Gene, he was a great actor, enjoyed his many films,..he’ll be picking his feet in heaven now.

 

Canny innings…

 

Yeah, a fine actor and you could add The Quick & The Dead & Prime Cut (with Lee Marvin) to the list.

 

Don't forget BAT21

 

RIP Chris Hughes of Eggheads

 

Cops now say they are conducting an investigation.

French Connection was another great movie of his.

 

He was great in Unforgiven

RIP Popeye.

 

Nope….

“The local utility responded and found no sign of a gas leak in the area. The fire department detected no indication of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning, according to the search warrant.”

 

only speculation, but I wonder if Betsy went first, followed by Gene, all within approximately two weeks, Very sad in any case.
The tributes pouring in have said it all, Gene Hackman was a special kind of actor, and not many could hold a candle to him.
Rest in Peace Gene and Betsy.

 

With 4.5 years served in the US marine corps certainly helped get his message across on the Big screen.
