Gene Hackman cause of death revealed. Wife died a week earlier due to the Hanta virus, and he stumbled around with full blown dementia. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7478165 Damn hard way to go out. “I hope I die before I get old”
I didn't know he had advanced dementia. Really unfortunate that his wife died in the home with Gene in that state.
it's all dementia. Just different varieties. Like how colon cancer, breast cancer, bine cancer...it's all cancer
Surprised they didn’t have help if he was that advanced. We think my grandparents hid my grandmas diagnosis a couple of years but once it really kicked in my grandad couldn’t handle her by himself. She wondered off a few times in the middle of the night. She had to go to a special care facility. Maybe he was just so old and feeble she could manage it. Sad situation. Cancer and dementia are the two worst ways to go out.
Someone brought up the horrific possibility that because of Hackman's dementia, he could have discovered his wife's dead body as frequently as every ten minutes, before forgetting it again and repeating the cycle, for a week straight.
