mr. hackman died and his wife decided she didn't want to go on, that's happened.e bodies had been decomposing. makes it more difficult for the on scene investigators to try to make a determination. when you're looking at a body that's decomposed where injuries might be -- normally might be able to see them on the body prior to decomposition. that process is very destructive to the body and they might not be able to make out some injuries that might be there on the body. the critical thing is the autopsy. that will determine the future course of this investigation. >> will: how long does it take to get to decomposition? or the modification of hands and feet? >> the decomposition begins almost immediately. as soon as the body, the life force ends, that's when things start to decompose. i don't know the extent of the decomposition. but when you hear the word mummification, that's -- that kind of surprised me. usually mummification takes place over much greater period of time. when the body decomposes and bloats, it's really a very destructive thing to the body. i don

mrs. hackman. gene hackman's wife died first of some sort of medical episode, and then then gene hackman, who was 95 and not in the best of health, perhaps died afterwards, whether he was trying to assist her or sometime later, it's unclear. but from those initial reports, it seems like both have been dead for some time and maybe her more than him. and then there's the moment of the deceased dog. and the one dog who did die was near the prescription pills that were spilled. perhaps the dog got into those pills while the others were still alive elsewhere on the property. but again, this is just one theory at this point. nothing is certain. but it will. it will be a, you know, will, it'll take days and potentially, you know, a week or more before the, you know, autopsy and all the toxicology reports are complete. these things do take some time, you know, when that initial autopsy report is finished in the next couple of days, we'll learn more. but we may not have definitive answers here for quite some
