US investigators are trying to establish how Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman (95) and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, died after the discovery of their bodies in separate rooms at their home in the US state of New Mexico. Their dog was also found dead.
Officials confirmed no carbon monoxide poisoning was involved and there were no signs of forced entry or struggle prompting the mystery to be investigated further.
Officials said on Friday that evidence points to Hackman having been dead since 17 February – 10 days, quite some time before the couples’ bodies were found.
