Him, his wife and dog all found dead at home. His wife was only 63. Very sad, whatever the cause.

Great actor. RIP.

Found dead alongside his wife and dog.

Fantastic actor, briliant as Popeye Doyle in the French Connection as well as in Enemy of the State

Great actor. 95 was a shock

Assume can rule out carbon monoxide from a dodgy boiler?

Probably, yep. I hadn't appreciated he was that old either. Seems to have been a bloody sad ending though - not many explanations if nobody else involved.

Police say they’re not treating it as suspicious, so I assume that rules out him pulling a Hitler.

Enemy of the State was a great film. RIP.

Not sure whether murder suicide with a note would be suspicious? What actually classes as suspicious? I would suggest something that they cannot easily explain.

I deem suspicious to mean nobody else involved

Great actor. Seemed to be in everything in the 70’s. First saw him in Bonnie and Clyde and will never forget his cameo as Harold the blind man in Young Frankenstein. He and Dustin Hoffman both attended the same acting classes apparently and were voted least likely to succeed!

Very sad news with his wife and dog also found dead with him. RIP

I am ruling the dog out as to any involvement

You’re right - the dog was found in separate room

[The Kraken]

Do we know what religion the dog was?

No. But they had a pet Rabbi(t) if that sheds any light on things.

In a closet.

The latest story on the BBC makes it sound odd...I think she may have pushed him over, killed him(whether an accident or not) then taken an overdose.

No signs of injury apparently, but deemed the deaths "suspicious enough" to investigate and have not ruled out foul play. 

Interesting.

So, a Daily Mail hack was there and dropped their copy near the dog? Suspicious.

Was its front right paw stretched out in a salute?

What angle was the salute? That will determine the severity of the situation.

Stretching out towards an open bottle of pills.

They're calling it a Roverdose.
