The deaths of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, 63, are under investigation as “suspicious.” Their bodies, along with that of a pet dog, were found in their New Mexico home. The door was unlocked, and pills were scattered near Arakawa’s body in the bathroom.
Initial investigations ruled out foul play, but authorities have since filed a search warrant due to the mysterious circumstances. No external trauma was found on the bodies, and no gas leak was detected, despite Hackman’s daughter suggesting carbon monoxide poisoning. Theories suggest Hackman may have fallen, as his sunglasses and walking cane were nearby.
Autopsies and toxicology reports are pending, as authorities await results to determine any potential toxic substances and the cause of death.
