"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," police said in a statement.
Grim details from inside the home of Academy Award winner Gene Hackman has been revealed after he was found dead alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog at their Santa Fe mansion.
Gene had previously opened up about his scenic Santa Fe home in an interview with Architectural Digest back in 1990, having remodelled his house on twelve acres of hilltop land with a 360-degree view.
Sheriffs said Hackman was found to have the same signs of decomposition as his wife, but was found separate to her inside the home.
Two maintenance workers called Roland Lowe Begay and Jesse Kesler discovered the bodies of Arakawa and her retired Hollywood star husband at their luxurious million Santa Fe mansion Wednesday at 1:46pm Mountain Time.
