Something really dark that I saw mentioned is that due to his condition he might have realised she was dead multiple times.

 

[Trilobit]

Weird that they didn't have anyone helping them, like a caretaker or what it's called in English.

 

[daffyduck]

Home Care worker?

They did have the other kind of caretaker.

 

[Insane Metal]

It’s a horrible disease, its what took my mother several years ago

Still remember the day walking in to see her and she didn’t know who I was, so lost her twice.

So odd that she forgot my dad first who was taking care of her and they had been married for over 40 years then me who she saw 2 or 3 times a week

But right until the end she always knew who my wife was, always said how happy she was to see her and every time we asked who she was she replied “that’s Kim” in a very duhhh dumbass tone.

Damn man, so sorry for your loss.

I just watched Enemy of the State and it's pretty crazy how a movie from 1998 captured the far reaching consequences of an unrestricted surveillance state and its abuse of power.

i'm wondering where their immediate family is in all of this.
you'd think they'd check up on them regularly at their age.

They probably didn't think they needed help with the wife being as young as she was.

Helping a loved one 24/7 can be incredibly exhausting. Having someone help you feels like a no-brainer as long as you can afford it. Hackman must have been incredibly easy to deal with despite his condition for her to solo it.

Yeah and maybe they didn't want help

 

[GateofD]

yea, wife being young as she was, and they probably wanted their privacy.
and dog was just locked in a crate? Was it a puppy?

 

[GateofD]

Without trying to sound like a cunt because it’s terrible - but would the dog, you know, made a beeline for the bodies and taken a nibble?

Or is that shit only in the movies?

Again a terrible way to go I’m not trying to be nasty. Genuine question.

EDIT: Ah the dog in question was in a cage.

doggie out of cage would probably guard the body till death.
cats would eat the owners first chance it gets.

This was a dog that apparently she took out on trips. She probably collapsed right after returning home.

When I was a kid the elderly lady one house over had tons of cats had at least 20 inside the house and outside all over the yard and porch and yeah they ate her when she died.

Me watching this movie when it came out in 1998: "Wow that's scary, thank goodness that could never happen here."

Osama Bin Laden: "Hold my arak"

It's also a who's who of millennial 90s actors that everyone knows.
