“On February 26 2025 at approximately 1.45pm, 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," a police statement said.
Cops in Santa Fe revealed the star was found dead alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, and their dog in their plush $3.8 million home on Wednesday.
LEGENDARY actor Gene Hackman made haunting comments saying he "feared" death before he passed away in his New Mexico home aged 95.
Hackman was last seen publically with Betsy in March 2024 at a restaurant in Santa Fe.
"All I can say is that we're in the middle of a preliminary death investigation, waiting on approval of a search warrant," Adan Mendoza, the Santa Fe County sheriff said.
