Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, his wife Betsy Arakawa, 65, were found dead in their New Mexico home. Data from Hackman's pacemaker indicates he probably died on February 17, nine days before the discovery of their bodies. Both showed signs of decomposition, and a forensic pathologist excluded carbon monoxide poisoning as a cause of death. However, the official cause and manner of death remain undetermined, and final autopsy results may take three months or more to complete. Investigators found no signs of foul play.
