Actor Gene Hackman, wife found dead in New Mexico home

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.

Good call

Gene Hackman's daughter thinks her father and his wife died from carbon monoxide poisoning.


I'm curious though, wouldn't that mean their home was connected to natural gas? It seems odd that a remote place like that would have such a supply...
 
To continue what I was saying. Is Samuel L. Jackson a great actor or a great character. Like Gene, he had the ability to play a million different characters and he was never type cast
Samuel L Jackson was a great actor till he screwed up the Superbowl halftime show
 
I raced a Saddleback Saturday MX race and Mr. Hackman & his Son Chris pitted next to me and my Dad . He was a nice guy and his Son raced Open Class , I was racing 125 class at that time so we only were on track at same time during practice . ( Met Gene years later in Downtown Los Angeles when I was A Courier for Law Firms and he was shooting a Suntori Whiskey Commercial and he could remember the Saddleback park race )
 
Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found partially-mummified at the couple's $3.3 million mansion, with pills strewn in their bathroom.

An arrest warrant obtained by DailyMail.com revealed Arakawa, 64, was found decomposed with bloating on her face and mummification in her hands and feet.

Sheriffs said Hackman was found to have the same signs of decomposition as his wife.

 
RIP! I loved Gene, my favorite movies of his were uncommon valor (sailor was awesome), and behind enemy lines. It is strange him, his wife and dog all died at the same time.

That was a good movie. Forgot about that one. I thought you were talking about No Way Out with Kevin Costner.
 
Good call

You can have a propane tank onsite and it can be filled by tanker truck.

Monoxide is from improper combustion, regardless of the source of the combustion.

Well now this is getting worse.....
 
Samuel L Jackson was a great actor till he screwed up the Superbowl halftime show

He's one of the guys that can pull off the race switch for certain characters.

His Nick Fury worked.

I love Kevin Costner as an actor too. He is awesome. The whole story about how he made the studio wait and choose. Whitney Houston for bodyguard role is pretty cool not usually my type of movie, but it was good. I love his westerns.

I didn’t really like his halftime part, but doesn’t change the fact he’s a ******* incredible actor.

Interesting, he definitely shunned the limelight, and so much exposure to it left him wanting nothing more to do with any of it.


Last year, Hackman and Arakawa were seen out and about for the first time in two decades.

The actor was spotted holding onto his wife's arm for balance as the pair grabbed a bite at Pappadeaux's Seafood Kitchen in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Before the dinner date, Hackman enjoyed a cup of coffee and some apple pie from a local Speedway store.

The couple's outing marked the first time they were seen together in public for 21 years, with the last time being at the 2003 Golden Globe Awards, where he won the Cecil B. deMille award.

In an interview with Empire in 2020, the retired actor revealed he enjoyed watching DVDs that Arakawa rented. He said: 'We like simple stories that some of the little low-budget films manage to produce.

Takes an incredible actor to claim that Kendrick Lamar is a great performer

Being 95 will do that
 
Now for a US source, the NY Post is reporting they are further investigating.

Gene Hackman and wife’s death investigated as ‘suspicious’ after door was open, pills were found

Authorities said the deaths were “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation” after also finding an open pill bottle and pills scattered around the room where Hackman’s wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, and the dog were discovered.

Meanwhile, Hackman’s body was located in a separate room, and there was “no obvious sign of a gas leak,” according to the report.

More and more I am grateful how my 102 year old grandfather passed away. He went to bed one night, and when my mother couldn't reach him the next morning, me and my sister found him passed away in bed.

These are legends of Hollywood. The last of the real Hollywood Stars. Not like when I was a kid my dad insisted that It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad world was funny. When all it was was a bunch of has been washed up actors. And they cast washed up has beens on shows like Fantasy Island and Hollywood Squares. Except of course Betty White. She was a star always. LOL.

Who are the great young actors today? Compared to Denzel, Gene, Brando, Spacey, Hoffman, Pacino and Robert DeNiro. William DeFoe. Leonardo, Tom Cruz, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks
