Gene Hackman, the celebrated actor famous for his distinguished career, has passed away at the age of 95, causing profound sorrow in his family. Survived by his three children, Hackman's family released a heartfelt statement mourning his loss, emphasizing that while he was admired globally for his acting, he was simply 'Dad and Grandpa' to them. The circumstances surrounding his death, along with that of his wife Betsy, have led to a police investigation, amid suspicions of carbon monoxide poisoning despite no obvious signs of a gas leak.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy. He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa.
While law enforcement has opened an investigation into the deaths, which they have deemed 'suspicious,' Elizabeth told TMZ on Thursday that she suspected her father and stepmother died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Hackman's family expressed their grief, stating, 'We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss.'
