Or rather assisted suicide. Or imposed suicide. Kind of like in a dramatization of the lovers' suicide pact between Crown Prince Rudolf and Mary Freiin von Vetsera at Mayerling, there's a question of how willing a participant Mary was in that dual suicide. In reality it happened behind a locked door with no surviving witnesses, but in that dramatization Rudolf shot Mary while she slept negating her explicit vote in the matter. Similarly, how willing a participant in her suicide is Democracy? Or is it a murder-suicide minus the suicide part? Anyway, on to Message 530 . Edited by dwise1, : added "explicit"

Re: Gene Hackman, 95
Was shocked to read this in the morning. The police state that there is no evidence of foul play. So if I was to hazard a guess, I would assume it might have been carbon monoxide poisoning. Nothing is certain of course until the investigation concludes.

Re: Gene Hackman, 95
seems there were 3 dogs, 2 were running around alive. pills discovered beside the wife's body. Hackman found fallen in bed, his fallen glasses beside him. family suspected carbon monoxide, but initial analysis said no. more info as it develops.

Re: Gene Hackman, 95
correction. Hackman not in his bed, but fallen in the mudroom near his cane. the pills were only described by the word "prescription".

Pope Francis, not a Great but could have been a lot worse; probably did as much as he could for women, gays, migrants and the poor. Started some balls running at least. Just as delusional about the god thing as any of them though. ps, word is that JD Vance killed him Edited by Tangle, . Edited by Tangle, .
