Hah?
ReplyDeleteSo he was living for a week with a dead body?
He had late stage Alzheimer’s. They said he probably didn’t even realize she was dead.
DeleteHuy read the whole story
DeleteGene has Alzheimer’s so he’s probably not aware and alert anymore. He’s probably bedbound too so no way talaga to ask for help.
DeleteGanon na nga
DeleteYes and may Alzheimer’s daw kaya siguro di na siguro alam yung nangyayare
Delete90+ na siya so he probably wasn't even aware
DeleteIt’s possible he’s unaware because he has illnesses too.
DeleteYes. He had advanced alzheimer so possible na di nya alam namatay na ang kanyang asawa. Di na rin nya alam kung kumain na cya o hindi at na trigger na yung heart ailment nya. Very sad and tragic ending.
DeleteMay I add too na given his advanced alzheimers and heart disease, likely rin na he wasn't able to take his maintenance medication which contributed to his passing.
DeleteYep, and he has alzheimers. Nobidy is taking care of him or making him take his meds. This is tragic
DeleteAlzheimer’s is a mind stealer. What’s left of the body is the shell the person/mind is totally gone already, that’s why it can’t function without help.
DeleteSo tragic. I got teary eyed watching the news. What a sad way to go…
DeleteHe’s 95 and no caregiver to help the wife to take care of him? And why are the kids not even checking up on them? Sad how Gene Hackman died maybe from starvation before the heart attack because no one was taking care of him for a week.
Delete11:05 possible naman na ganun set up. Lola ko 93 na may early dementia and yung tita ko na matandang dalaga in her late 60s yung primary caregiver. Sila lang magkasama sa bahay but we do check up on them din regularly.
DeleteWalang nagawa yung money & success nila. Such a tragic death. And because of his Alzheimer’s he’s not aware na patay na yung wife nya sa bathrooom. I think it’s so sad they died alone.
ReplyDeleteMeron naman. They were able to live the life they wanted- being a recluse. After retirement, it was Hackman's choice to live a quiet life away from Hollywood. And why would that be sad? Magkasama naman sila hanggang sa huling sandali nila.
DeleteWow 95 yo and then you still you said walang nagawa? Ano gusto mo 100? It is a full of life, bihira na nakakadating ng 95.
Delete9:24 slapsoil comment
DeleteActually malaki property nila and they're living life how they wanted it. Wala nga lang immediate na naka attend to their deaths but I wouldn't say walang nagawa money nila and they were together naman when they died to technically they weren't alone.
Delete9:24 he lived a good and a very looong life. Jusko, ano pang hahanapin mo eh umabot sya ng 90.
Delete9:24 Your comment reeks negativity towards wealth. Baka kung wala silang pera, baka hindi sila umabot ng ganyan katagal na mabuhay.
DeleteYAN PA TALAGA COMMENT MO!!! SAMA MONG TAO!!! PALIBHASA WALA KANG MOOLAH
DeleteIf I was given the chance to earn millions, I would live life on my own terms too. Away from the city, in a beautiful property with my pets and partner for company. Parang Bretman Rock ang peg. There's nothing sad about that, they lead a full life.
Delete95 YEARS OLD HELLO kahit marami kang pera sa edad na yan mas gusto mo na lang magpahinga!
Delete95yo na nga anong pinagssbi mo Jan. Wala lang sila maid n kasama kaya wala NK alam wala rin kapitbahay . And mga anak malalayo .
DeleteHe gets to live til 95. That's wealthy. Because not everyone reaches that age.
DeleteHave you seen where they live? That’s every person’s dream when they retire- malayo sa mga kamag-anak na mag-aaway sa yaman mo, malayo sa tsismis, malayo sa mga tsismosang kapitbahay, kasama mo lang asawa at dogs mo, close to nature, at higit sa lahat maraming pera to sustain your needs.
DeleteTeh 95 na sya and umabot sya ng ganung edad dahil sa pera nya syimpre afford nya medical expenses. Anlaking bonus na yung umabot ka sa ganyang edad.
DeleteGalit na galit mga reply ah. Wag OA
Delete9:24 tell us you’re obsessed with money without telling us.
Deleteyung lang 12.39am, dun ata sa farm estate nakuha yung hanta virus na galing sa mice amd rodents.
Delete95 yr old with Alzheimer’s pero di sila nag hire ng nurse to help them with day to day living? Did the wife decide to isolate them knowing she’s 30 yrs younger thinking she can take care of him??
ReplyDeletePrimary care giver daw 'yung wife
DeleteAng mahal kaya mag-hire ng private nurse/caregiver sa America noh. Nothing wrong if she took care of him—he lived up to 95. It’s just unfortunate she got sick too.
DeleteMost of the Americans per my observation being a home health nurse ayaw nila ng may ibang tao nakakapasok basta sa bahay nila. They also value independence, autonomy and privacy a lot. Madami ako naging patients na kundi pa ieenforce ng Doctors nila or ng other family members, hindi talaga sila maghire or mag accept ng help. I once had a 100 yo patient living alone and only had housekeeper 2x a month.
DeleteIt’s normal sa US kahit pa mayaman ka na hindi nag ha-hire ng helper. Only maintenance people. Ang sad lang dun hindi sila chineck ng relatives and friends nila for weeks
DeleteYes ganun na nga! Meron talagang ganyan.
DeleteKung maka-kwestyun ka naman auntie. Choice nila na silang dalawa lang ang magkasama sa bahay. Labas na tayo doon kung nag-hire man sila o hindi ng caregiver.
DeletePossibly, since 65 is still young.
Delete9:29 Kung makapagsalita ka kala mo ikaw yung asawa eh. Hahaha
DeleteYou don't seem to understand that his wife, who was 65 yrs old, was his sole caregiver also. She was 30 yrs younger than him kaya di nalng sila kumuha ng caregiver cz the wife's younger at baka decision nila yan. Huwag conclude agad.
DeleteHe reached the age of 95 , and enjoyed the rest of his years with his wife. Sa tingin mo hindi nakatulong yung yaman niya? And besides, neither of them died alone kasi magkasama sila.
DeleteAt ano naman sayo o kahit kanino sa atin dito kung siya ang nag decide to isolate themselves? Yung mga tanong mo napaka-unnecessary. Dinaig mo pa yung mga imbestigador.
DeleteBakit ganyan ang mga tanong mo? Anong gusto mong ma-achieve na conclusion?
DeleteSo sad. Guys always check on your elderly parents!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! Nung mga bagets pa tayo, tumatawag or nagtetext parents natin pag wala sa bahay and now that we're adults, i-check din natin sila from time to time.
DeleteYou don’t have to tell us. If we want to to, we will.
Delete10:24 bitter sa parents spotted lol. Nobody would care for your parents except you so problema mo na un
Delete1:36 Yup! Okay ka na?
Delete“Forensic experts came to a heartrending conclusion about the manner of Gene Hackman's death: heart failure with complications from Alzheimer's disease on an empty stomach a week after a rare, rodent-borne disease took the life of his wife at their home in Santa Fe.“
ReplyDeleteGanyan ang buhay sa America- kadalasan hindi nagkikita or nagkakausap ang mga pamilya dahil busy or malayo ang bahay nila sa isat isa. Iba rin ang kultura nila. Hindi katulad ng. mga Pinoy or Latinos na close knit families.
ReplyDeleteMalamang ung daughter na nagclaim na close sila ng father niya, ay mukhang di accurate. Kasi kung close kayo, araw araw mo silang tatawagan!
ReplyDeleteIba naman kultura sa America. All the time kailangan talaga nakamatyag ka sa parents mo?
DeleteAt sa tingin mo naman sasabihin nila yung totoo publicly? Mag-isip ka naman.
Deleteamericans vs other cultures have different ideas of “close relationship”.
DeleteThis is sad. Kaya kayo, kung kayo ang nag aalaga sa fam nyo wag nyo din kalimutan alagaan ang sarili nyo cos mawawala lahat kapag nawala kayo.
ReplyDeleteParang Leptospirosis?
ReplyDeleteDaga lang common factor but malayo hantavirus sa lepto. For one yung hantavirus is as the name suggests, is a virus tas walang gamot. Supportive lang. Lepto pwede mo bigyan ng ng antibiotics.
DeleteHindi.
Deleteand the fact that it damages the kidneys. common factor din 12.43
DeleteGene was dependent on his wife for his well being, mauuna pala syang mawala but because of his Alzhiemer's he wasn't aware that she was dead. So sad that family didn't bother to check on them.
ReplyDeleteno welfare check? no friends?
ReplyDeleteTheir family members don't even check on them so sad and also mahirap din talaga if may sakit and old na wala talagang nag aalaga dapat meron talaga kahit just to check every week
ReplyDeletemga kapatid ng mama ko (senior) hindi rin naman nag checheck sa kanya kahit isang lugar lang sila sa Pilipinas. Have to accept the fact pag matatanda na lahat may kanya kanyang buhay at problema mga tao. minsan naisip ko na okay pa pag nasa nursing homes ang mga matatanda at least may nag aalaga
Delete12:15 hindi rin. Marami din issue sa nursing homes. Issues on understaffing, assault from staff and fellow patients, etc.
Delete1215 yan ang pros na alam. pero ung mga nursing homes dito, mga in laws ng aunt and pinsan ko inubos lng nila ang pera tas di na tinanggap after. mga gahaman din yan sa pera at sobrang mahal mag charge
DeleteYung dog nila namatay sa gutom OMG
ReplyDeleteKaya ako nag iiwan talaga ako ng maraming kibbles for my cats tapos yung ibang kibbles I make sure na kahit papaano accessible just in case they're so mad hungry na. I also tell a relative and close friend to sometimes check up on me kasi iniisip ko mga alaga ko sa ganitong situation. Omg. Kawawa naman sila. Ang heartbreaking ng nangyari.
DeleteSi Gene hindi mo ba naisip na ganun din ang nangyari sa kanya nong namatay yung asawa niya?
DeleteGanun talaga if that’s the end of your life it’s bound to happen. Let’s just offer our prayers instead of blaming this and that. Natural death naman so it’s our Creator’s will. We can’t undo let this be a lesson to check our elderly parents. Let God do His will and let them rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteYou're right.
DeleteKaya agree ako legalize euthanasia
ReplyDeleteSomething's fishy.
ReplyDeleteThats y its hard not to have children. Uso pa nmn ang dinks ngaun
ReplyDeleteIt’s more hard and heartbreaking when you have children but doesn’t care about you. — just like what happened to this couple.
DeleteIt's not hard because if you have no children, then you can use your hard-earned money for yourself. Wala ka namang pag-aaralin na anak di ba eh di yung pera mo mapupunta para sa retirement mo.
DeleteHoy wag ipasa sa anak ang pag aalaga sayo pagtanda. Maghanda and magkaroon ng plano. And hindi rin lahat ng may anak ay naalagaan ng anak pagtanda lalo na pag toxic na magulang.
DeleteGene Hackman had kids.
DeleteExcuse me !? That’s so disgusting of you to say that ! 🤮
DeleteEiwww kadiri ka! I don’t have kids by choice so walang ma pre pressure to take care of me . I and my husband prepared for our years to come . You’re pathetic for having children as investments.
Delete4:03 4:06 I’m sure isang tao ka lang eh noh. I do not necessarily agree with 8:19 but the way you react, you can’t really have kids. Ang OA. Ang drama.
Delete2025 na ito pa rin mindset?!
Delete7:21 Nasaktan ka kasi kaya OA para sayo. Dapat talaga sinasampal ka ng katotohanan para hindi ka maging pabigat sa ibang tao.
Delete8:19 teh, obviously hndi mo alam n may anak si sir. Obviously stuck k parin sa old thinking n pang retirement plan ang mga anak mo. Teh, its 2025 na!!!
DeleteIt's even more devasting to know how they passed.
ReplyDeleteWala bang home cam na pwede sila imonitor ng mga anak nila, kahit saang lugar pa sila nakatira?
ReplyDeleteSa tingin ko kailangan ng home security cam sa bahay ng mga matatanda. It's a must. Lalo kung living far away sila sa mga anak or relatives. Atleast mamonitor sila every minute and they can even talk to them through those home security cameras.
That sounds too big brother-you and need din nila ng privacy.
DeleteI hope they’ve chosen to live in a senior home given their age and ailments. Their house is simply too big for just two people.
ReplyDeleteShe was only 65. That is not old at all, especially in the US.
