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.
