The deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, are the subject of an active investigation after their bodies were found with one of their dogs at their home in New Mexico.
Forensic details suggest that the couple may have been dead for some time before being discovered, with a search warrant seen by the Guardian stating: “[Arakawa’s] body was in a state of decomposition with bloating in her face and mummification in her hands and feet.”
