Police have launched an investigation into the death of two-time Oscar winner Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog, who were all found dead in their New Mexico home, local authorities said Thursday. Hackman was 95 and Arakawa was 63.
According to a Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, deputies entered the Hackman home at around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday to conduct a wellness check at a neighbor's request and discovered the bodies at that time, with gas company and fire department personnel on hand to make sure there were "no toxic fumes that would endanger deputies during their search," AP News reports. However, new details from the investigation revealed no signs of a carbon monoxide or natural gas leak, finding the couple's deaths were "suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation."
