"It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father, Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy," Hackman's children, Christopher, Elizabeth, and Leslie Hackman said in a statement.
Gene Hackman's family has spoken out on the actor's death after he was found dead with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, in their Santa Fe home.
Cops collected multiple medications, documents, and phones from the home where Hackman, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found dead on Wednesday afternoon.
Hackman and Arakawa's bodies were discovered alongside one of their pet dogs when a panicked neighborhood caretaker called 911 after finding the couple unmoving in their Santa Fe home.
SIX key items have been taken from Gene Hackman's mansion as cops investigate the mysterious deaths of the actor and his wife.
