That’s much more horrible than the early speculations. The poor dogs.
Indeed, that’s IMO the most horrifying part. It sounds like Gene himself may have been too far gone mentally to be suffering, but that poor dog suffered greatly.
I live alone and even though I’m perfectly healthy I bought self-filling water and food dishes for my dog and I make sure they stay topped up. If my brain were to abruptly explode someday for some unknown reason I want to be sure she’ll be okay for however long it takes for my friends to come over and check on why I’m not answering any communication.
Dayum. Whole thing is bizarre. Dead dog in the cubbard. Wonder if once she died he had uninhibited alzeimers brain.
Just reality being weird
Wonder if once she died he had uninhibited alzeimers brain.
That’s the sad subtext I got from reading it.
Yeah, reading between the lines, it sounds like the poor guy was not in any condition to take care of himself. What a horrible way to go.
There are so many things about Hackman I’m just now realizing. Had no idea he was that old (95), was suffering from Alzheimer’s, or that he hasn’t acted since 2004. He had such a huge presence that if you put me on the spot, I would have said he was in a movie 2-3 years ago. RIP to a legend.
I feel really bad for the dog.
That’s the worst part. I’ve never liked the concept of crating a pet if the pet can’t break out in an emergency. If your pet “needs” a crate, you taught it wrong or have the wrong environment for it as far as I’m concerned.
