Zinna was discovered dead in a crate near Arakawa's body, while Hackman was found in a different room. Investigators believe the couple had been deceased for up to nine days before discovery. Toxicology tests are pending to determine the cause of death, and the circumstances surrounding Zinna’s death remain unresolved, raising concerns about her being trapped in the kennel without food or water.
