Well he was 95, and CO2 easily kills people when they are already asleep.

My mom was telling me about this, in case anyone was curious about Hackman and his family's cause of death. It's very sad.
Tldr:

Wife passed due to hanta virus. Gene was likely unable to comprehend due to Alzheimer's and passed days later due to heart and liver issues. One of the dogs died likely due to starvation.

I thought he was already dead.

 

[Ungnome]

Apparently he was a working actor up until 2021. I didn't think he was dead, but was pretty sure he was fully retired before then.
