Gene's wife, Betsy Arakawa, was found in the bathroom on the ground near the countertop, lying on her right side.
Gene was found in a separate room off the kitchen.

The fire department came and advised they did not see any signs of carbon monoxide leak or poisoning. The New Mexico Gas Company came to the residence and conducted testing on the gas lines in and around the house, and concluded, "As of now, there are no signs or evidence indicating there were any problems associated to the pipes in and around the residence."

My favorite Gene Hackman films are French Connection and Unforgiven

OMG. WTF. And the dog too? I almost just don't want to know.

And Hoosiers--as good as it gets.

Bummer - I liked his portrayal of General Sosabowski in "A Bridge too far".
