On February 26, 2025 at approximately 1:45 p.m., Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to an address on Old Sunset Trail in Hyde Park where Gene Hackman, 95 and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 64 and a dog were found deceased.
Local police in New Mexico have confirmed that actor Gene Hackman has died aged 95.
He was found dead along with his second wife Betsy Arakawa, 32 years his junior and their dog at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
It obviously paid off, because he lived for another 21 years and turned to writing novels, painting and fishing at his isolated ranch in Santa Fe, New Mexico before he died at the age of 95.
Gene Hackman was the real deal.
