No idea.
Shows how much I know about that particular whinin', cryin', shootin', an' dyin' genre

Sorry for your loss Pam
Preferred his brother Kevin anyway.That 'pun' would work if the surname was spelt correctly
There's something really off about this. There's the dog thing as well. If they both died of natural causes what happened to the dog? Must have been food around as there were two other dogs that survived.Wow..
Actor Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa died of natural causes
Authorities say Betsy Arakawa likely died days before Hackman, and it's possible he was not aware because of advanced Alzheimer's.www.bbc.co.uk
I can't imagine visits would be fun but you might expect his children to at least speak to his wife.
The dead dog was in a crate, so presumably there wasn’t anyone to let it out, whereas the other dogs could forage for food.There's something really off about this. There's the dog thing as well.

Can't imagine he was skint, at 95 with Alzheimers surely he would have had some sort of care and not be relying 100% on his wife.
Scramble now for his $80m estate by children who seemed not to give a f$$k while they were alive.The dead dog was in a crate, so presumably there wasn’t anyone to let it out, whereas the other dogs could forage for food.
Horrendous and bizarre story all round really. It really is awful that anyone that old and vulnerable could be left alone for such a long time, let alone someone with such fame and wealth.
You can see now, as to why.Scramble now for his $80m estate by children who seemed not to give a f$$k while they were alive.
No screening for me while I am healthy thanks, I am not volunteering to become a patient.Eddie Jordan
Apparently he was fighting aggressive prostate cancer. A reminder to all blokes on here to get a PSA test.
RIP Eddie.
That's the entire point of the test. People think they're healthy because they don't tend to start getting ill until it's really serious. It may not be perfect, but it saves lives.No screening for me while I am healthy thanks, I am not volunteering to become a patient.
- The PSA Test and its Limitations:
The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test, a blood test used to screen for prostate cancer, has been the subject of debate and scrutiny. While it can detect prostate cancer, it's not very accurate, and can lead to false positives, meaning that a man might be tested positive for prostate cancer when he doesn't have it, or that a cancer might be detected that is slow growing and may never cause harm.
- Overdiagnosis and Overtreatment:
The PSA test has been criticized for leading to overdiagnosis and overtreatment, meaning that many men are diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer that would not have caused them harm in their lifetime.
- Potential Harms of Screening:
Prostate cancer screening, including the PSA test, can lead to unnecessary follow-up tests, such as biopsies, and treatments, which can have side effects like pain, impotence, and incontinence.
- US Preventive Services Task Force Recommendation:
The US Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of experts that makes recommendations on preventive health services, has advised against routine PSA screening for healthy men.
- New York Times Articles:
The New York Times has published numerous articles on the topic of prostate cancer screening, including articles that discuss the concerns about the PSA test and the recommendations of the US Preventive Services Task Force.
Although they say its slow growing and not harmful it can and does spread to bones and other area's.No screening for me while I am healthy thanks, I am not volunteering to become a patient.

It is impossible to save a life, all you can do is extend life. These tests do not do that, they positively impact 'survival time' stats which looks good but means nothing because that is an inevitable consequence of early diagnosis, then there is the damage caused by misdiagnosis. I am not saying you should ignore symptoms but most prostrate cancer is not the cause of death, Jordan had an aggressive cancer not the common slow form. Anyway I have my approach to health you are free to follow yours.That's the entire point of the test. People think they're healthy because they don't tend to start getting ill until it's really serious. It may not be perfect, but it saves lives.
So why bother taking any kind of medicine or having any kind of test/treatment? It'll only extend your life, which will end at some point in the future anyway, so what's the point?It is impossible to save a life, all you can do is extend life.

Don't assume I don't take care of my health.So why bother taking any kind of medicine or having any kind of test/treatment? It'll only extend your life, which will end at some point in the future anyway, so what's the point?
As you say, you can approach your health as you see fit, but I just hope this doesn't come back to bite you. Prostrate cancer - don't take it lying down!
Close but I think its a negative of this picture
I shall grill some lamb chops in his memory tonight.Poor old George is going in a different grille now, RIP big man very humble
