Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, were found deceased in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home on February 26, 2025. Their bodies, along with one of their dogs, were discovered by maintenance workers who alerted authorities. Preliminary autopsy reports indicate no external trauma, and carbon monoxide poisoning has been ruled out. Hackman was found in a mudroom near the kitchen, while Arakawa was in a bathroom beside a space heater, with prescription pills scattered nearby, a detail investigators deem significant. The couple had been dead for several days; Hackman's pacemaker recorded its last event on February 17. Investigations continue, with authorities consulting family members to reconstruct the couple's final days.
