Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead under mysterious circumstances in their Santa Fe home on February 26.
Authorities have labeled the case “suspicious” after finding the front door open, but no signs of foul play. Gene, 95, and Betsy, 64, were discovered during a wellness check. The family has urged patience, waiting for toxicology reports before drawing conclusions.
Gene’s daughter, Leslie, revealed that despite his age, Gene was in good health. Theories about carbon monoxide poisoning have been considered but dismissed by inspectors. Some experts suggest Gene may have suffered a cardiac arrest, while Betsy might have fallen while trying to help him.
The investigation continues, and while answers are still unclear, the world mourns the loss of the legendary actor.
