Gene Hackman, the acclaimed Oscar-winning actor, and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their Santa Fe home alongside their dog. The precise cause of death remains unclear, though authorities have deemed it 'suspicious'. Initial findings indicate no immediate signs of foul play or external trauma. The couple, married since 1991, were discovered after a maintenance worker found the front door open and alerted emergency services. Autopsies and additional tests are pending, and tributes from Hollywood have begun to pour in for the legendary actor known for roles in films such as 'The French Connection' and 'Hoosiers'.
