Gene Hackman died one week after his wife

Gene Hackman, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, lived in the house with his dead wife for a week before he died.

Of the three dogs living in the house, one died because it was locked in a carrier and therefore probably starved to death. The two free-living dogs were the only ones to survive.

  • I feel so bad for the puppy. Spending 3 days trying to let your owner know you desperately need to go to the toilet... then need a drink... then need food...

    Only for the old bloke to maybe give you a pat as he walks by completely oblivious to the fact you're doing. He's dying. His wife is already dead.

    Just horrible.
