Hollywood actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa have both been found dead in their home in the Santa Fe Summit
Gene Hackman's daughter Leslie has broken her silence following her father's mysterious death. The legendary Hollywood actor and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead at their home in New Mexico on Wednesday, February 26.
Gene's daughter, Leslie, 58, has now broken her silence on his sad death, Mirror UK reports. Leslie said that the family are still processing what happened, before making the harrowing admission that "there was no indication that there was any problem" with her father prior to his death. Gene and his wife Betsy were found partially-mummified at the couple's mansion, with pills strewn in their bathroom, reports have claimed. An arrest warrant has revealed that Arakawa, 64, was found decomposed with bloating on her face and mummification in her hands and feet. The warrant, obtained by Mail Online, also saw that Sheriffs said Hollywood actor Hackman also had the same signs of decomposition as his wife.
Arakawa was located on the bathroom floor, near an open prescription bottle with pills scattered across the counter. Officials have yet to specify what type of medication was present or whether it belonged to Arakawa or her husband. A space heater was positioned close to her head, and investigators are considering whether it may have fallen. Meanwhile, Hackman’s body was discovered in a mudroom near the kitchen, as detailed in the search warrant.
One of the surviving dogs was found near Betsy’s remains, while the other was seen wandering around the property. Investigators noted that the front door was ajar, but there were no indications of forced entry. The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department has ruled out foul play at this stage, though the case remains under investigation.
