    Bad news. He’d become increasingly reclusive over his final years. I guess they both decided to check out together. Very sad.

    Dead dog as well, might not necessarily be suicide, could be carbon monoxide or summat.

    Such sad news, I know he was a actor and a very good actor but I don't think he needed to act playing a tough guy, he was the real deal. Rest in peace Gene.
