Was puzzled after reading a couple of stories about this this morning...."foul play is not expected". Not saying that foul play MUST be involved, but it seems awful quick to report that when 2 humans and a dog all die at the same time.

My knee jerk reaction was something like a carbon monoxide leak or similar? Theoretically, something like that could take them all out and be relatively easy to figure out quickly?

I just read they were found partially mummified and there is an arrest warrant how can that not be foul play involved? Details seem odd...found with pills and pill bottles strewn about and seems like they have been deceased for weeks.

The Santa Fe City Fire Department found no signs of a possible carbon monoxide leak or poisoning, the document said. If there was carbon monoxide at the scene, it could have vented out of the home through the open front door before responders arrived.

The article I read indicated the police went in for a wellness check, so apparently they had not been heard from for an unusual period of time by whoever called it in.

saw a report that his handyman showed up to do some scheduled work, front door was partially opened so he knocked and entered and when he saw the body of Hackman called 911...police found the wife and dog in another part of the house.

James Harrison 88 - Known as the "Man with the Golden Arm," Harrison is credited with saving the lives of 2.4 million babies over the course of more than half a century. Harrison's plasma contained a rare and precious antibody called anti-D which is used in medications to prevent rhesus disease in unborn babies.

Peter Jason - 80. Played Con Stapleton in HBO's Deadwood and many other roles. He died on Feb 20th, but they must not have released the news at that time.

2 memories that come to mind of Big George--the Rumble In The Jungle in i believe 1974, when Muhammad Ali beat him in Zaire (when George was seen much like Iron Mike Tyson was later...simply unbeatable, and people genuinely feared that Ali might die or get severely beaten...they were concerned for his health. Instead, Ali was a master, let Foreman punch himself out, and then knocked George out to the chants of "Ali, boombaya!")

and then of course some 20 years later, when George bided his time, losing round after round to heavyweight champ Michael Moorer, only in a very late round (the 11th?) to land a quick combination that didn't simply knock Moorer down, but out.

As strange as it is to say, old George may have been a better fighter than young George....he was so smart and crafty at the end of his career.

He also went from a snarling, silent 20-something, to a gregarious, laughing, joking champ in his 40s and beyond. Great man--he'll be missed.

And let's not forget that he had 5 sons - all named George! (He had 5 daughters too.)

And one of the girls was named Georgia!

His rationale was that "when you've been hit in the head as many times as I have, sometimes you forget things. If I need help, I don't want to have to think who it is, all I need to do is yell George!"
