Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies found Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and a dog dead when they preformed a welfare check, a spokesperson said.

Summary

Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog were found dead in their New Mexico home, authorities confirmed Thursday.

Foul play is not suspected, but an investigation is ongoing.

Hackman, a revered actor known for The French Connection and Unforgiven, retired from Hollywood two decades ago and spent his later years writing novels.

He lived in New Mexico since the 1980s, remaining largely out of the public eye. His death comes just days before this year’s Academy Awards.

    NM is just jealous that CO is better. Don’t put up detectors to keep CO out of your home, embrace it with open arms and lungs!

        I used to own a Subaru Forester in Ohio. I sold it to a lesbian who was moving to CO. Felt like I was giving it a better home
