One of the greatest actors in my lifetime sadly found dead along with his wife RIP

JoelGoodsen · 02-27-2025, 07:40 AM

He had a great run, but doesn't make it any less sad.

The circumstances of this news is very strange. All 3 dead together with no foul play suspected?

TitusTroy · 02-27-2025, 07:40 AM

"No foul play is suspected and no cause of death has been announced"

??...both him and his wife and dog were found dead and no foul play suspected?...murder/suicide?

Benson85 · 02-27-2025, 07:42 AM

Carbon monoxide poisoning maybe?

Martoto · 02-27-2025, 07:45 AM

Maybe it will turn out he's just in Nebraska.

Incredibly sad, the greatest to ever do it in my opinion.

What an amazing and prolific legacy and body of work he leaves, such sad and unusual circumstances, hope answers are found.

Rest in peace to Gene, his Wife and beloved pooch 😥

BluPat · 02-27-2025, 07:50 AM

This is crazy. RIP

Gizz · 02-27-2025, 07:51 AM

One of my favourite actors shocked by this news.

RIP

This is the kind of case where you wish this. If the other option is murder-suicide.

RIP Gene, damn!

morris_schaffer · 02-27-2025, 08:09 AM

Awful, but what a life. What an actor!

Frank TJ Mackey · 02-27-2025, 08:11 AM

One of my all-time favorites. I was becoming a huge fan after Royal Tenenbaums and then that was about it for his career.

RIP -- sounds like they wanted to go together.

hasslein · 02-27-2025, 08:14 AM

I just bought Banning, it was the only film left he was in that I hadn’t seen. My favorite actor. Very sad.

Darren75 · 02-27-2025, 08:15 AM

So many films wouldn't have been the same without him.

R.I.P. Gene

Benoit Blanc · 02-27-2025, 08:19 AM

Where are you going?

I was gonna make espresso.

Damon1281 · 02-27-2025, 08:20 AM

Great actor and a great run. I'm not sure I want to know the details. I can understand wanting to check out at 95.

And take the dog with them?

An elderly and frail 95 year old and his spouse I see as more likely expiring from an accidental cause before murder/suicide. but I could be wrong.

Dayle Haddon just passed away from a similar accidental incident.
