Gene Hackman’s daughter Leslie Anne Hackman knew her father to be in prime health.
Indeed, as stated by Leslie, the acclaimed Oscar-winning actor, aged 95, had been active prior to his unfortunate passing at his residence in Santa Fe, along with his wife Betsy Arakawa, who was 64 years old, and one of their beloved dogs, on February 26.
In a recent interview with the DailyMail on February 27th, Leslie shared that, contrary to his age, he maintained excellent physical fitness. He enjoyed practicing Pilates and yoga regularly, which he continued multiple times per week. As a result, he was keeping himself in optimal health.
Apart from Leslie, Gene also fathered Christopher and Elizabeth, two children he shared with his former wife Faye Maltese. In 1991, the actor from ‘French Connection’ tied the knot with Betsy, a skilled classical pianist. It was Betsy who, according to Leslie, played a significant role in keeping Gene fit and healthy even after he retired from acting.
Leslie stated, “They had a wonderful marriage, and it was Betsy who kept him alive, in my opinion. She was incredibly diligent about his well-being and health, so I owe her a great debt of gratitude for this. Her passing has left me deeply saddened.
Investigators are diligently seeking the reason behind Gene and Betsy’s passing. Earlier, the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office informed NBC News that “it appears unlikely that any form of criminal activity was involved,” but their deaths have been categorized as “unusual enough to warrant an extensive inquiry and meticulous examination.
Following the announcement of her father’s passing, Leslie expressed her views on the preliminary inquiry she had been part of.
She expressed, “I’m deeply concerned to discover what transpired and I’m unsure of the timeframe they had been deceased.” She shared this with Us Weekly on Feb. 27, adding that even the authorities are still uncertain about it.
Sheriff Adam Mendoza of Santa Fe County provided some additional details about the objects discovered at the crime scene where the couple died. Among these items were a prescription pill bottle that was left open and found close to Betsy’s body, as initially noted in an affidavit.
Adam shared with Savannah Guthrie on Today’s show on February 28th that the evidence found at the scene was crucial. He explained that this information was handed over to the medical investigator’s office to aid them in their investigation. He emphasized that they are focusing particularly on this piece of evidence, along with any other medications that may have been present in the residence, as it warrants further scrutiny.
Adam also noted that the timeline of Gene and Betsy’s death is unclear.
He mentioned that creating a schedule seemed challenging. It seems they might have passed away several days ago, potentially even two weeks back.
As per Adam, the primary investigator, the “autopsy results” will play a crucial role in the ongoing case. However, the investigative team appears quite certain that there’s no indication of any untoward incident, given the absence of signs suggesting foul play.
