Gene Hackman, Wife Found Dead in Santa Fe, Investigation Ongoing

Gene Hackman, the legendary 95-year-old actor, was found dead alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home on February 26. His daughter, Leslie Hackman, expressed confusion and sorrow over the sudden deaths, stating there were no prior indications of health issues, as her father was in good physical shape, regularly practicing Pilates and yoga. The couple's bodies were discovered in separate rooms, showing signs of decomposition, and authorities currently suspect carbon monoxide poisoning may be the cause, though no foul play is suspected. Leslie noted that it had been a few months since she last communicated with her father, emphasizing their close relationship despite their limited contact. The investigation is ongoing, with the family awaiting further information from law enforcement. Leslie described the situation as devastating for the family as they process the loss of their loved ones.
