Gene Hackman, wife, and dog found dead and mummified

Gene Hackman, the esteemed Oscar-winning actor, along with his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog, were found dead in their Santa Fe residence on Wednesday. Authorities have not suggested any criminal activity linked to the deaths of Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 64, who had shared their lives since their marriage in 1991.

 

The circumstances that led to the tragic death of the veteran actor and Arakawa, a classical pianist, remain unclear as investigations continue at their Santa Fe home. At the couple’s $3.3 million mansion, Hackman and Arakawa were discovered in a state of partial mummification, with various pills scattered around their bathroom.

 

Further details released by an arrest warrant from DailyMail indicate that Arakawa exhibited advanced decomposition, with facial bloating and mummification evident on her extremities. Similarly, officials reported that Hackman showed comparable signs of decomposition as his wife.
