Shocking details emerged in the police investigation into the tragic deaths of the famous actor Gene Hackman and his wife. Authorities stated that the deaths were “suspicious enough to require a comprehensive search and investigation,” and search warrants as part of the investigation uncovered a series of mysteries at the scene. Firefighters conducted various tests to check for carbon monoxide leaks or poisoning symptoms. Among the suspicions is the suggestion that a silent killer known as a “hidden assassin” may have played a role in the couple’s deaths. Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, both accomplished actors in the foreign film industry, were found dead in their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

While Hollywood mourns the loss of the renowned actor, who won two Oscars, two BAFTAs, and four Golden Globe awards during his long and illustrious career, the investigation continues in the city of Santa Fe, New Mexico. As police try to unravel the mystery behind the deaths, many complex questions arise. Hackman’s body was found in the driveway of the house, and police officers discovered a pair of footprints near the kitchen area of the house, which they believed belonged to Gene Hackman.

The deputy sheriff mentioned that they suspected Hackman had “suddenly fallen” and showed “similar death symptoms as the deceased woman.” The scene report stated that Hackman was found in “gray sweatpants, a blue long-sleeved shirt, brown slippers, and a cane” and that the death may have occurred due to a sudden fall. Two officers noticed that the front door was open, but no signs of forced entry were found, and all the belongings inside were in place. The police decided to further investigate the reason for the open door.

According to the reports, Betsy’s body was found “in a cupboard in the bathroom.” Next to the body, there was a heater and the deceased couple’s German Shepherd. Betsy’s body appeared to have died a long time ago, showing signs of decomposition, swelling in the face, and mummification on the hands and feet. Additionally, medicine bottles and scattered pills were found around the body.

The investigation report indicated that a heater was found near Betsy Hackman’s head, and it was suspected that if she suddenly fell, the heater might have fallen as well. The deceased dog was found about 3-4 meters away from the woman, inside a cupboard in the bathroom. The bathroom door was unlocked, but it was not clear whether the cupboard door was open. Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa had three dogs, two of which survived. The report mentioned that the “healthy dog was first found next to the deceased dog (inside the bathroom), and the other healthy dog was observed outside the residence.”

Officials stated that they had last spoken to the Hackman couple approximately two weeks before the incident and that they rarely had face-to-face meetings with the homeowners, but communicated by phone or text. However, there is no definitive information on whether this communication was actually in person. The Santa Fe Fire Department investigated a possible carbon monoxide leak, but found no evidence of leakage during the inspection. It was also reported that there were no issues with the pipes inside the house.

Preliminary findings of the medical examination revealed that the couple did not suffer from “external trauma.”

WHY IS THE POLICE SUSPICIOUS?
The police in the case stated that the combination of several factors raised suspicions about the deaths, including the open door, the presence of healthy dogs, pills, and a heater.

As the investigation continues, the public is expected to learn the truths behind this tragic event.
