Fox News
Gene Hackman had started becoming less active near the end of his life, according to friends.
"Obviously, he was 95, so he was slowing down. And after COVID, he was more reclusive protecting his immune system and everything else."
He continued, "I really am puzzled by the whole thing. You know, there's a lot of different reports coming out. It's kind of a tragic mystery in a way. And I can't really speculate on what it could have been. Certainly nothing dark there. I think it gets compounded by the fact that it was the two of them and the dog. But I don't know beyond that."
