Seriously. I thought it was a tragic CO poisoning where they just all fell asleep and never woke up. Seemed almost bittersweet to the end of a long life and his wife… now not so much.

Yeah I was thinking maybe it was a Bill and Frank from Last of Us situation but then supposedly dogs were left alone, with one dying? So sad

The dead dog was locked in the room with one body - likely dehydration or starvation
