If it wasn’t foul play, I’m thinking that it’s possible Gene passed away and collapsed in the mud room, his wife found him, freaked out….went to the front door and called for help….went back inside(leaving the front door open) then decided she couldn’t bare to be without him and overdosed. They found meds scattered on the counter of the bathroom she was in which is right next to the front door. It’s a shame she didn’t have the frame of mind to at least release the dog from its crate and to call 911…the crate was right next to where her body was found. It appears the dog starved to death in the crate while their bodies decomposed until they were found. The other two dogs could leave and reenter the house through the open front door. Genes pacemaker last registered an event on February 17th, so they were dead for almost ten days before they were found.
