As the world was still coming to terms with the sudden passing of Michelle Trachtenberg, another heartbreaking loss has been confirmed. Gene Hackman, the legendary two-time Oscar winner, has passed away at the age of 94, just weeks before the 97th Academy Awards.
Hackman’s death has raised many questions, as he was found lifeless alongside his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home. Their bodies were discovered after a neighbor alerted authorities, concerned about not seeing the couple for an extended period.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the actor’s passing, stating that there are no immediate signs of foul play. However, authorities have requested a search warrant to investigate further. As the investigation unfolds, Hollywood and fans worldwide are remembering Hackman as one of the most respected and celebrated actors in film history.
Cause of Death Still Unknown
So far, the official cause of death has not been determined. According to TMZ, Elizabeth Jean Hackman, Gene Hackman’s daughter, mentioned that carbon monoxide poisoning could be a possible cause. However, it’s still unclear if there was a gas leak in the house before their deaths.
The fact that Hackman, his wife, and their dog were all found deceased together has fueled speculation about the circumstances of their deaths. However, many of these theories are unfounded, and some have pointed out that those spreading conspiracy theories are simply seeking media attention.
Speaking with CNN, Chris Ramírez, a spokesperson for the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator, explained that the autopsy reports, which will confirm the cause of death, could take four to six weeks to be finalized.
