Randy Quaid, the brother of Dennis Quaid, has sparked outrage with his latest conspiracy theory.
The actor claims that Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were "murdered" - and he's not the only ones he thinks were killed in suspicious circumstances.
A History of Conspiracy Theories
Quaid has a history of making outlandish statements, but this one has really got people talking.
He's not just accusing someone of murder, but he's also dragging up the deaths of other Hollywood stars, including Heath Ledger and David Carradine.
According to Quaid, all of these stars were killed by "scum bags" who are trying to cover their tracks.
What Happened to Gene Hackman and His Wife?
Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, earlier this week.
At first, it was thought that they might have died from carbon monoxide poisoning, but that theory has since been ruled out.
The cause of their deaths is still unknown, and the police are waiting for toxicology reports to come back.
No Signs of Foul Play
Despite Quaid's claims of murder, the police have said that there are no indications of foul play.
The couple's bodies showed no signs of blunt trauma, and the police are still trying to piece together their last moments.
It's a mystery that's got everyone scratching their heads, but Quaid is convinced that he knows what happened.
A Pattern of Behavior?
This isn't the first time Quaid has made claims like this. In 2011, he told Variety that Heath Ledger and David Carradine were killed by "The Hollywood Star Whackers".
Ledger died from an accidental overdose of prescription medication, while Carradine's death was ruled an accident after he was found dead in a hotel room in Bangkok.
The Impact on the Families
Quaid's conspiracy theories are not just hurting his own reputation - they're also causing pain for the families of the stars he's accusing of being murdered.
A source close to the investigation told The Mirror that the speculation is "upsetting" for the families, and that it's "very unhelpful" given that the police have been transparent about their investigation.
The Truth Will Out
As the investigation into Gene Hackman's death continues, it's likely that we'll eventually learn the truth about what happened.
But until then, it's essential to be respectful of the families and not jump to conclusions based on speculation and rumor.
Let's wait for the facts to come out before we start making accusations or spreading conspiracy theories.
