Legendary actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead inside their Santa Fe home, with initial autopsies showing no signs of external trauma. The couple, who lived in Santa Fe since the 1980s, were discovered by maintenance workers during a welfare check after concerns were raised by security. Foul play was initially ruled out, but investigators reversed that statement, calling the deaths “suspicious.” The couple’s dog was also found dead, while two other dogs survived.
Hackman, 95, known for his roles in films like The French Connection and The Royal Tenenbaums, had retired from acting in 2004 and lived a quiet life with Arakawa. The couple’s cause of death has not been determined, with investigations ongoing. They were last photographed together in March, and their deaths have shocked Hollywood, with tributes pouring in from stars like Francis Ford Coppola and Viola Davis.
The couple’s relationship was private, with Arakawa being a classically trained pianist and assisting Hackman with his writing. This is a developing story, with further updates to come.
