Gene Hackman’s cause of death has finally been revealed, and it’s bittersweet to say the least. The legendary actor passed away from heart disease, just a week after his wife succumbed to hantavirus, according to investigators.

The parallels between Gene Hackman and his wife’s deaths are almost too surreal to ignore. It’s like something out of one of his blockbuster movies, only this time, the script is heartbreakingly real. And then there’s the dog mix-up—because why not throw some extra confusion into the mix? Investigators might need a Hollywood screenplay writer at this point to make sense of it all.
