A truly great sports movie. It's my favorite Hackman performance, but Dennis Hopper is at least as good as the assistant coach. And remember, when Jimmy Chitwood finally joins the team all the pistols start firing!
I'm wondering if we will ever know the truth of what happened - there were no witnesses and apparently no cameras - and it's probably going to be hard for detectives to find what really happened unless a note or something is found. I've read a number of stories of suspicious or unsolved deaths of movie and television stars over the years, some dating back to the silent movie era, and I wonder if this will end up becoming one of those stories. It's just very sad, whatever happened.
The autopsies will likely rule out a number of things and may point to actual causes of death. From there, it may take some educated guesswork to figure out exactly what happened.
He DMed me a few months agoWait, that's what he believes is the great conspiracy at IC?
I didn't know he'd revealed what it was.
I don't deserve this, to die like this. I was building a house
Or didn’t want the dog to eat their bodies
But there were two other dogs roaming freely…
It's adds an extra layer of sadness to this story that even in her distraught state, Hackman's wife didn't want anything bad to happen to those who discovered their bodies or their dog. And, as such, she put their German Shepard in its crate. That sort of thinking is all to common in extremely stressful situations, as this was.
I think this is what probably happened, too.
That was my thought as well. I'm actually surprised that there aren't more "caregiver dies unexpectedly, and invalid is unable to call for help," deaths.
