Gene Hackman, the iconic Hollywood actor, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead in their Santa Fe home. The couple, aged 95 and 64 respectively, were discovered alongside their dog. Sheriff Adan Mendoza reported no signs of trauma or a suicide note, suggesting the deaths may have been accidental. Hackman's daughter speculated carbon monoxide poisoning as a possible cause. The actor, known for his reclusive lifestyle, retired in 2004 and moved to Santa Fe, where he lived quietly with Arakawa, a classical pianist, for three decades. He had three children from a previous marriage and was a celebrated actor with two Oscars. Tributes have been paid to his legacy in Hollywood.
