Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found dead alongside their dog in their Santa Fe home on Wednesday afternoon.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office confirmed their deaths, stating that foul play is not suspected, though the cause remains undetermined.
Authorities are conducting a preliminary investigation.
Hackman, known for iconic roles in The French Connection and Unforgiven, leaves behind a legendary Hollywood legacy.
Gene Hackman died from hypertensive atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer’s as a contributing factor. His wife, Betsy Arakawa Hackman, succumbed to hantavirus one week earlier. The couple’s bodies were found in their Santa Fe home. Investigators confirmed Hackman likely died alone, unaware of his wife's passing, amid worsening health conditions.
