Hollywood legend Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, former classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday afternoon at home in New Mexico, along with their dog, authorities said.
Deputies from the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office responded to a welfare check at the couple's residence on Old Sunset Trail around 1:45 p.m., where they discovered both Hackman, Arakawa, and their dog deceased.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office provided no cause of death but said there was no indication of foul play. "This is an active and ongoing investigation," a spokesperson said in an email to Newsweek.
