    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

For some reason always like his characters and how he portrayed them in his own way.

And this ending , to me seems just like what I'd expect from Gene.
 
Yep, what I've been see'in just keeps us scratching our heads. Not carbon monoxide, gas is not poisonous nor dangerous to breathe, pills weren't anything that could cause this, even with overdose... Hope when revealed it will be something believable and nothing that will make us keep scratching.
 
I listened to a show that mentioned the known to the public details. I am thinking he found her on the bathroom floor which was traumatic, headed towards the door for help and he suffered a heart attack. Doesn't seem like a crime was committed to me.
 
No clue, we'll just have to wait, one article, a day or so ago, "suggested" he'd been dead longer than her. This morning, after autopsy, only mention of time was possibly up to 3 wks.

Well the Sherriff briefing did handily note the presence of two "descendants" so the case is in great if not literate hands.
Sorry sad way to end a life 9 days gone per data pulled from his pacemaker.

Yet two dogs were found outside in good health...................one dead inside.
Did one partner die and then the other of shock followed by doggie eating some potent meds that got dropped?
Its nasty but had the dog lived he would have eventually eaten the corpses......................
The autopsy will tell all and one on the dog as well to test toxicology unless the miserable old bastard killed the dog.
 
One news cast said the dog possibly starved, rekon who was feeding those other 2? Thinking if we get enough guesses, when what happened is revealed, somebody's guess may be correct.

Dog would eat any food available if ravenous.....
 
The more famous the person, the bigger the story of their death has to be, unless it's cut and dried simple. My theory is that they will figure it out, publish the reason, and many people won't believe it. But he was far from being in his prime, so maybe it'll just fade away due to lack of relevance to the hot minute of news.

I liked Gene a lot, some of the French Connection scenes like the diner were pretty cringe-worthy but eh, whatever. I remember watching 'Enemy of the State' a couple of years after leaving the NSA. Not his fault (Tony Scott, ahem), but I think they meant it to be the FBI. The NSA has no 'agents' with guns etc. It's a passive intel collection (SIGINT, COMINT, HUMINT, ELINT etc) agency. That gave me a good chuckle seeing guys with guns playing secret-agent man. I wasn't alone. It was sort of a joke. But Gene made it worth a watch.
