Gene Hackman's Final Autopsy Contains A Chilling Detail

Another chapter appears to have closed in the Oscar-winning actor's death.

The French Connection and Unforgiven Oscar winner’s acetone levels indicated he may have not eaten for quite some time before his death at age 95 in February, Fox News reported on Sunday. The autopsy report noted while acetone is used in household products it’s “also a product of diabetic- and fasting-induced ketoacidosis as well as a metabolite following isopropanol ingestion,” Fox News wrote. In March, the chief medical investigator had already determined Hackman died from “hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer’s disease as a significant contributory factor.”
