Gene Hackman passed away at 95, alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa and a dog, raising concerns due to the circumstances of their deaths. His daughters expressed their grief in a statement emphasizing that he was not just a legendary actor but also their father and grandfather. While authorities initially ruled out foul play, Elizabeth, his daughter, suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. However, details surrounding the scene, including unsecured doors and pill bottles, have led to the case being treated as suspicious. The investigation remains ongoing, leaving many questions unanswered.
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.
The sheriff's office said the exact cause of death has not been determined, and initially said that foul play was not suspected as a factor.
Elizabeth told TMZ she suspected her father and stepmother died of carbon monoxide poisoning, but later reports indicated the deaths are being investigated as suspicious.
Two of their dogs were found alive, and authorities found open pill bottles scattered through the room, with no obvious sign of a gas leak.
