If carbon monoxide was the cause then it wouldn't amount to foul play. It happens.

We'll see what happens once the investigation is concluded.

That would certainly explain it but it's not something that is not immediately noticed as it causes a lot of vomitting vomiting especially from dogs...as u say we can only wait and see
 
No evidence of a gas leak..Could it be he died of natural causes the she not wanting to go on without him committed suicide? Lots of pills were found near her body in a separate room
 
Can understand her dying and him being unaware.
The dog maybe died of being in contact with the same rodents or simply starved to death.
Sad ending either way for them both
 
A sad tale indeed. Given that the bodies weren't found until a week or more after they died suggests to me that the wife acted as full-time carer for her desperately ill husband without the third-party 'home help' that one might have expected a wealthy couple to employ: maintaining independence must have meant a lot to them

The only remaining part of these grimly coincident deaths to be answered is what did the dog die of. It was apparently taken to a vets shortly before Mrs Hackman's death. I believe an autopsy is being carried out

Anyway, Gene Hackman was a good actor and by all accounts a good man, having spent his retirement to useful effect in the local community
