Officials are gathering additional details regarding the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa.
Following the grim discovery of a couple and one of their three pets deceased in their residence in New Mexico on February 26th, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adam Mendoza revealed his estimation of how much time had elapsed since the bodies were first seen.
The official made clear to Savannah Guthrie on Today, February 28th, that creating a timeline is quite challenging, even with the Office of the Medical Investigator’s assistance. From what we can gather based on their body and other evidence found on it, it seems that the event may have occurred several days ago, potentially stretching as far back as a couple of weeks.
Additionally, he holds the view that the passing of Hackman, aged 95, and Arakawa, aged 64, occurred relatively closely in terms of timing. Yet, this is merely speculation at present.
He went on to say, “I didn’t notice any signs of anyone being inside the house or performing unusual activities. Therefore, it’s quite challenging to ascertain whether they both died simultaneously or were near each other when they passed away.
In 1991, Hackman and Arakawa got married; following his retirement from the film industry in 2004, they moved to New Mexico. Regrettably, Mendoza mentioned that their secluded lifestyle in Santa Fe has made it difficult for authorities to piece together details about their last days.
He clarified, “We’re working on compiling events, specifically creating a chronology—the last instances when the deceased were spotted and communicated with. It’s difficult as they were extremely private people, even their family keeps a low profile. At present, we are gathering all relevant data to make sense of it.
Based on an affidavit from a detective at the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, as reported by TopMob News, it currently appears that Mendoza does not suspect any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
He assured Savannah, “I’m quite certain no suspicious activities have taken place, given the absence of proof. However, it’s important to keep an open mind, and we haven’t ruled out the possibility. I believe the autopsy findings will provide clarity and guide us appropriately.
At present, officials are holding off on action while they are waiting for the upcoming reports, which Mendoza stated, “will serve as the cornerstone for this investigation.
Information about the deaths of Hackman and Arakawa has been revealed through an affidavit. It stated that Arakawa’s body exhibited clear indications of decease, including facial bloating, body decomposition, mummification in her hands and feet. Similarly, the actor from French Connection displayed evident signs of death, mirroring those found on the female victim.
Although some people were speculating about a potential gas leak, the detective’s report stated clearly that no indications of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning were found by the investigators.
According to the affidavit, at present, it remains undiscovered how Eugene ‘Gene’ Allen Hackman and Betsy Arakawa died, and there are reasons leading us to believe their deaths warrant a comprehensive probe and investigation due to their suspicious nature.
As we await more details, read on for a look back at Hackman’s life.
