Apparently no foul play is suspected, according to the police. Very sad.

Sheriff: Gene Hackman, wife found dead in Santa Fe home; no foul play suspected

The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office confirmed the film star and wife Betsy Arakawa had died, along with their dog.

Very sad news. Popeye Doyle was one of my favourite screen characters. Lex Luther, not so much.

One of the best. Excelled during the ‘70’s era of hard bitten, character driven action films.

They didn’t come any better. 🫡

Do you think the dog did it and then killed itself. That’ll stump em.

The sheriff said there was no indication of foul play.

Gene Hackman: Death of actor and wife 'suspicious enough' for investigation, police say

Authorities say there was no sign the couple had sustained any injuries, but no cause of death has been given.
