    Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

    Pretty sure it was Clint Eastwood that killed him.

    I read the dog that died was in a crate/kennel. So it probably didnt eat any of the pills.

    Yeah, that came out after after my supposition. Originally, they just said the dog was in the bathroom with her.

    But, yeah, looks like poor dog died from thirst/hunger from being stuck in a crate.

    It sounds like nobody had heard from them for multiple weeks. So yeah, probably died of thirst.

    To me, he's the greatest criminal mastermind of our time, Lex Luthor, first, and second, Coach Jimmy McGinty, who believed in Shane Falco even though he chokes with the game on the line.

    I'll be rewatching those performances soon, as well as finally fixing my grave mistake of never having seen The Conversation or The French Connection.

    Yeah, they were dead awhile before they were found. A couple weeks it seems.

    His pacemaker last sent a signal 9 days before they were found. It’s very dry where he lives and she was lying next to a space heater which is why they were mummified so quickly

    Sounds to me more likely she found him and then took pills to join him. She’s Japanese and they have a weird honor thing about suicide that would possibly be in her personality. Maybe she was ill as well. 64 isn’t that old but Gene was 95. That’s old

    Yeah, that was my first theory.

    Either that or she had a health emergency (heart issue or something) went for pills and collapsed before she could take them. He found her, ran to get help, tripped, fell, and died himself.

    Or

    They both died separately without the other knowing. Both having deadly events at the same time in different places. The odds are low on that one though.

    The thing is pills were everywhere and the heater was knocked down as though she collapsed suddenly. They can count the pills and look at the number that's suppose to be in the bottle to see how much is missing. But, taking pills to kill yourself will take some time wouldn't it? She would have sat down and died slowly on the floor against the bathroom counter, not collapsed. She could have slid down and sat, then out of frustration, threw the bottle with the remaining pills, scattering them, and knocked the heater down, before passing.

    It will be interesting to see what their findings are. Any which way it's a terribly tragic set of events, and we lost a great actor and his lovely wife.

    And the poor dog who had no say in the matter and was probably crying to be let out and fed.
