The tragic deaths of actor Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa, and their dog are under investigation in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Authorities found them dead in their home under suspicious circumstances, although initial findings indicate no signs of foul play. Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden noted that Hackman's pacemaker might provide crucial information, suggesting he suffered a cardiac arrest due to severe heart disease. Preliminary autopsy results ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning, suggesting a potential accident rather than criminal involvement.
"So the autopsy showed he didn't have any injury, there was no carbon monoxide... the most common cause of death in this country - severe heart disease, coronary artery disease and high blood pressure perhaps, from what's been released."
"The pacemaker keeps track of the pulse, and when it gets down too low, it discharges. And that's all in the record."
