Back to Hackman, this may end being on Dateline because of the mysterious circumstances of what exactly happened. Probably would have featured on Unsolved Mysteries if it had happened in the 1990s.

The dog may have just been a coincidence. We put our dog in a crate at night to sleep so it’s possible they did the same thing and just hadn’t let it out yet. And since no one was around to let it out, it died locked in the crate.

Same. We started this when we bought our home during Covid. I've never been a 'shoes on in the house' type anyway, so it was an easy transition.

I wonder how much of that episode is going to focus on the mystery of what a mudroom is.

How'd this thread get hijacked into a discussion of mudrooms?
:scratch2:

(To be fair, before Hackman's death, I'd never even heard of mudrooms.)

I was thinking that this would be a likely scenario but then I thought the news said the mud room led to the backyard. Why would he run to the backyard for help? It would seem more likely he tripped over (or was knocked over) by a dog in the mud room.
The news mentioned that the 2 living dogs were healthy; they didn't mention how they survived but I think we all know.

I didn’t think dogs fed on the bodies of dead owners. I’m guessing they luckily had automatic feeders.
