Dang it!! That’s sad

Very sad

He was 95, why does this even make the news? These liberal folks from the actors community have no problem making millions off of movies where they kill numerous people, yet they are the first ones to be crying about gun control. Yet they are the very first to cash in on the Hollywood cadre of pukes that have no problem with the gun violence in their endeavors. I have no idea why any news source even reports these geriatric folks passing when they are so elderly. So be it. Let it go. Especially when they have cashed in on the very issue that want to take away from us as law abiding folks that dont make millions off of the irresponsible movies projecting them as some hero, while in fact, they are nothing, in their roles but murderous idiots.


I know I will get bashed but think about what I am saying before you do. Old folks pass away, just as you and I will, will we be on any news reel. very much unlikely.

He was 95 with dementia she died from rodent dropping bacteria issues a week before he died and a dog died in a kennel it sounds like one big mess.

some cases of Hantavirus can be very fast in their overtaking a persons health
top it off there was quite a slash in CDC personal the ones that work in the field when these incident occur

Its a sad set of circumstances no matter who you are. His death is not the big story.

I feel the worst about the dog locked in the kennel.

give me a break

So wife died, Gene about a week later suffering from a cardiac disease & Alzheimer’s/amnesia. Dog most likely died of dehydration.
It’s the type of call where the guys coming to pick up the bodies ask “bag or tub”……..”bring the tub”

Every news station is concerned about one thing. Ratings.

People are apparently interested in this story--or the news station will make them interested.

And our society loves its celebrities.

As someone who lives part time in NM and who appreciated Hackman as an actor, I do find it interesting. I agree it's not a tragedy. It's just life. Doesn't mean it's not newsworthy.

In the US if we feel ill we make an appointment and see a Dr. Evidently in Canada you stay home and call in an entire branch of the Government ?

I suspect dieing from dehydration was painful. Worst part of the story.

I have worked on 3 incidents of Hanta where human death has happened. Once some field samples of mice have come in they know what strain it is....and how hot it is.

Apparently the wife was a greenie and probably wouldn't have the mice killed, house must have been infested....

And then what? Kill every mouse in a 5 mile radius?

many times you can not find any mice alive in that 5 mile radius in a " hot zone" they have died weeks before

Dna live samples obtained tell how Hanta has changed for it to be so deadly

A pathologist is usually the first person who determines deceased was a hanta death
and lead time can be several days for results

There are many forms of hanta and surprise muskrats have shown so forms of it on studies done

it was first documented on a scene of a native American Indian hide preserved from about the 1860's, the wet weather cycle -rodents-death all shown
