Legendary Hollywood actor Gene Hackman has been found dead in his Santa Fe, New Mexico home alongside his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican, citing police.
Santa Fe County police discovered the body of the two-time Oscar winner, 95, and 63-year-old Arakawa — his wife of 34 years and their dog — on Wednesday afternoon.
No foul play is suspected and no cause of death has been announced.

Why do so many dramaphobes choose the boring option?

These aren't dramaphobes. These are drama realists or at worst drama pessimists. They have seen, time and time again, two weeks pass and nothing happen. It weighs heavy on a dramaphiliac and eventually they start to lose hope.

It's crazy that someone that rich and famous could die without anyone knowing. Didn't he have a big house that needed constant maintenance? Were him and his wife really going out and doing grocery shopping and cooking their own meals? No direct family either?

Sometimes I like soaking in old movies. Knowing there's no green screens, drones, or computer bullshit. What you see on screen they had to almost create in real life and capture it. Great story and amazing cinematography. This is one of those movies that made me say, "how tf did they pull that off?" and "are they out of their fricking mind?"

One died of natural causes and the other had a heart attack upon finding the body. The dog then starved.

It goes deeper. Connect the dots.
Michelle Trachtenberg died, who was secretly Gene Hackman's wife's lesbian mistress. The Epstein files are about to show that Gene diddled Michelle, so Michelle killed herself out of embarassment, which sent Gene's wife into a spiral, hatching a plan to kill herself and Gene (and the dog who already knew WAY too much) via monoxide poisoning.

I dont know if finding a 95 year old dead is heart attack inducing, but if somehow she died first I could see it killing him.
