R.I.P. Gene Hackman

We wake to the sad news of Gene Hackman’s passing, along with wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog. All sources are vague about the manner of death. The police say they don’t suspect foul play, but the fact that all three went at the same time leads me to deduce some sort of compassionate murder-suicide, or an accident. Hackman was 95. My 2020 tribute to the critically lauded actor is here.
