Shocking Autopsy Results: What Really Happened to Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa?

by

Officials have shared additional information regarding the ongoing inquiry into the passing of Gene Hackman and his spouse, Betsy Arakawa.

On February 26, as reported by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, the long-term couple, together with one of their pets, were found deceased in their residence in New Mexico.

On February 27, authorities declared that a postmortem examination was conducted, revealing no indications of exterior harm – that is, no physical wounds from external sources – on both the award-winning actor and the renowned pianist, as reported in the press release.

According to the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, they have asked for carbon monoxide and poisoning tests for both individuals involved. They have yet to determine the method and reason behind their deaths. The final results from the autopsy and toxicology reports are still awaited.

The department added, “It should be noted there were no apparent signs of foul play.”

The authorities were initially summoned to the residence shared by Hackman and Arakawa following concerns raised by a maintenance worker who hadn’t heard from them for some time. This prompted security personnel to carry out a welfare check, as detailed in an affidavit from a detective at the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, which TopMob News has obtained.

Upon reaching the house, authorities found Hackman, aged 95, lying on the floor of the kitchen, and Arakawa, 64, in the bathroom with their pet dog, who had passed away, according to the statement in the affidavit.

According to the report, Arakawa’s body exhibited clear indications of deceased status, including signs of decay, bloating on her face, and mummification in her hands and feet. Similarly, Hackman displayed evident signs of being deceased, mirroring those observed in the female corpse.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it as follows: In my investigation, I uncovered some striking details beyond the main findings. For instance, there was a space heater and an open prescription bottle with pills scattered across the bathroom countertop – the room where Arakawa was discovered. Moreover, I came across two other seemingly healthy canine companions residing on the premises.

In the report, the detective mentioned that there were no conspicuous indications of a gas leak at the house, and furthermore, they did not find any evidence suggesting a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning.

Currently, it’s unclear how and why Eugene ‘Gene’ Allen Hackman and Betsy Arakawa passed away. The details surrounding their deaths seem suspicious enough to warrant a comprehensive investigation and examination.

Per the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, an investigation is ongoing.
