Dead in its crate. She had picked it up from the vet after a procedure on the 9th. Presumably it was in there because it was still recovering. Probably wanted to isolate it from the others. Most likely, it died in the crate from dehydration and starvation. Dogs can only survive about 3 days without food or water.

Such a sad ending for all of them...

This is honestly the most tragic death of all of them. I'm not trying to minimize the others, I'm just saying given the context.

The whole thing is a tragedy. I feel like Hackman probably went through a hell of grief and panic in that last week. I really hope that maybe he regressed to the point that he forgot she was there. It'd be the only mercy in that whole situation.

And, with Alzheimers, he might have gone through grief and panic multiple times.

I read somewhere he was locked in a crate, so likely starvation
