Actor Gene Hackman, wife found dead in New Mexico home

[shockedcanadian]

They say foul play not suspected. I dont want to speculate but it is strange. He was 95, she 64 so one would think she wouldn't want to leave this earth just yet. Who knows? They said dog was dead too I believe, carbon monoxide perhaps? RIP. https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/gene-hackman-dead-1.7469824.
Gene Hackman, the intense character actor who won two Oscars in a more than 60-year career, has died alongside his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa, and their dog at home near Santa Fe, N.M.

The county sheriff's office said deputies had found the 95-year-old actor and Arakawa, 64, deceased on Thursday afternoon at around 1:45 p.m. local time.

"Foul play is not suspected as a factor in those deaths at this time, however exact cause of death has not been determined. This is an active and ongoing investigation by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office," it said.

Legendary Hollywood star Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa have been found dead in their Santa Fe home.

The couple, who had been married since 1991, and their dog were found dead on Wednesday morning. No foul play is suspected.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza did not provide a cause of death, nor did he say when the couple might have died.

Sheriff's deputies went to the couple's home Wednesday afternoon at 1.45pm, police said. It is unclear if authorities were conducting a welfare check or responding to a report of the deaths.

Mendoza added that officials are 'in the middle of a preliminary death investigation' and 'waiting on approval of a search warrant'. The tragic fate of their dog could be key in the mystery surrounding their deaths and help detectives piece together the couple's final moments.

Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner with an estimated net worth of $80million, just turned 95 in late January. He became a recluse in the last 20 years of his life, after retiring from acting in 2004. He packed up his things, left Los Angeles for a quiet life in New Mexico - and he never looked back.

Hackman shared three children with his first wife Faye Maltese. He and Arakawa, a 64-year-old classical pianist, had been married for the last three decades.

Comment:
Hackman was in a lot of great movies.

They lie... .

Not saying it is fowl play, but that has to be still on the table regarding suspicion.

They never said a bird was involved.

Damn those homonyms!

Bird Flu

I didn't know he was still alive.

The whole thing with the wife and dog also being dead is suspicious. I'm thinking either suicide or something like carbon monoxide poisoning.

they finally got him.

Made a lot of good movies, more than bad ones.
Not every actor can say that.
The Superman movies were horrible, and a few others. But the majority of his movies were good.

Bird Flu

Got to give you credit! That was a good one!
