Gene Hackman, the famous actor, was discovered dead at his home in Santa Fe on Wednesday, along with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog. At 95 years old, Hackman had settled down in New Mexico after a remarkable career in Hollywood, but the unexpected deaths of him and his 63-year-old wife have raised some concerns.
His daughter, Elizabeth Jean Hackman, thinks that carbon monoxide poisoning might be the reason, but the family isn’t completely sure. Authorities conducted a welfare check after a neighbor expressed worry and found no evidence of foul play.
Hackman had stepped back from acting in 2004 due to health issues. Despite this sad news, Elizabeth mentioned that her father enjoyed a peaceful life, focusing on painting and reminiscing about his famous role in The French Connection.
The investigation is still in progress, and while there are no signs of foul play, officials are looking into every possibility. The loss of Hackman, his wife, and their dog creates a big gap in Hollywood and in the hearts of many fans.
