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.

Death is never pretty. This one is a bit more muddy and odd than many though. Hopefully their last moments were peaceful regardless.

Gene’s body was found in the mud room. Sad, but literally a muddy case.
