Authorities will reveal new findings in mysterious deaths of Gene Hackman and wife
Authorities are set to reveal more information about an investigation into the deaths of the actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, whose partially mummified bodies were discovered last month at their home in New Mexico. The Santa Fe county sheriff's office has said it does not suspect foul play, and tests for carbon monoxide poisoning were negative. The sheriff, Adan Mendoza, and state fire, health and forensics officials scheduled an afternoon news conference on Friday to provide updates on the case. Mendoza has said the couple may have died up to two weeks before they were discovered on 26 February. Hackman's pacemaker last showed activity on 17 February, nine days before maintenance and security workers showed up at the home and alerted police. Arakawa was found with an open prescription bottle and pills scattered on the bathroom counter, while Hackman was found in the home's entryway. One of the couple's three dogs also was found dead in a crate in a bathroom closet near Arakawa, while two other dogs survived. Authorities initially misidentified the breed of the dead animal. Authorities retrieved personal items from the home including a monthly planner and two cellphones that will be analyzed. Medical investigators have been working to establish the cause of their deaths, but toxicology reports often take weeks to complete. When they were found, the bodies were decomposing with some mummification, a consequence of body type and climate in Santa Fe's especially dry air at an elevation of nearly 7,200ft (2,200 meters). Hackman, a Hollywood icon, won two Oscars during a storied career in films including The French Connection, Hoosiers and Superman from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s. Arakawa, born in Hawaii, studied as a concert pianist, attended the University of Southern California and met Hackman in the mid-1980s while working at a California gym. The couple's stucco, Pueblo-revival style home sits on a hill in a gated community at the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains. Santa Fe is known as a refuge for celebrities, artists and authors. Hackman dedicated much of his time in retirement to painting and writing novels far from Hollywood's social circuit. He served for several years on the board of trustees at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, and he and his wife were investors in local businesses.
