Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found dead in their Santa Fe home, with police calling the deaths “suspicious enough” to warrant investigation. Hackman was discovered in a side room, while Arakawa was in a bathroom with a heater and scattered pills nearby. Their German Shepherd was also found dead. Authorities found no signs of forced entry or gas leaks. Tributes poured in, with Francis Ford Coppola calling Hackman “a great artist” and “magnificent in his work.” The French Connection and Unforgiven star had retired to New Mexico for a quiet life.
