Gene Hackman Fans 'Disgusted' by Release of 'Private' Love Letters
The Santa Fe Sheriff's Office has released photographs of just a few of the notes written to and from the actor and his wife that were found throughout their home following their untimely deaths back in February, sparking unending speculation across the world about what happened to the couple.
While many were touched by the "very sweet" sentiments contained within the messages, several were left unsettled over the invasion of privacy they felt came along with reading the intimate notes that were reposted on social media by TMZ.
"Unbelievable! These are private and should remain private!" one commented on the publication's Instagram account.
"This is disgusting! Not our business at all!" someone else declared, while another bluntly questioned, "Why are these being broadcasted?"
"Some things should stay private," another commenter insisted, as others suggested, "Can yall just let them RIP?" and, "Let this couple rest. Not everything is meant for everyone to see ❤️ 🙏🏽."
"These are very sweet," somebody else admitted, "but shouldn't have been broadcast to the world after they died. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️."
"That's private," another insisted, calling their release "tactless and tasteless."
The couple was found deceased alongside one of their three pet dogs on Wednesday, Feb. 26, sparking a very public investigation that discovered Arawaka died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, likely several days before Hackman, who was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, died. Hackman's cause of death was labeled as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiac disease.

Pete Davidson Felt ‘Guilty and Horrible' When Elsie Hewitt Was Forced to Announce Pregnancy
THE RUNDOWN In July, Pete Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt announced they were expecting their first child together. In an August 13 interview with The Breakfast Club, the Saturday Night Live alum explained how his fame pushed Hewitt to make the announcement and expressed regret over the loss of privacy. 'I feel bad for my girl because I bring a lot of shit,' Davidson admitted. 'Anything I do or she does now is gonna be a thing. She's a very private person and she's the one doing all the work. It's supposed to be a beautiful experience.' The comedian added that he feels a lot of responsibility for the situation even though at this point in his career, the attention is out of his hands and Hewitt doesn't seem to blame him. 'She's never made me feel this way or said anything,' he explained. 'But I feel so guilty and horrible that I could not allow her to have the ideal pregnancy that almost every woman gets to have and enjoy.' The Bupkis star said they 'held off as long as we could' before posting about the pregnancy on Instagram. On July 16, Hewitt shared her sonogram and pics with Davidson, joking in the caption, 'Welp now everyone knows we had sex.' Shortly after, Davidson told E! News, 'I'm very lucky and very, very happy,' adding that he hopes to be able 'to take care of something and show it the childhood I didn't have.' 'I assume you just try to give then what you didn't have, and what you didn't like, not do it,' Davidson continued. 'Everybody's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream. They all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing you'll ever do in your life.'' He added, 'It's been really nice that everyone's super excited. When you do something, when we do anything, you want everyone to be excited, especially having a child.'
