Mystery surrounds the death of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, who were found dead at their home with their beloved dog. Officers found Hackman, 95, Arakawa, 64, and the pet dead when they performed a welfare check at their Santa Fe home around 1.45pm. County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that officials are 'in the middle of a preliminary death investigation' and 'waiting on approval of a search warrant'. Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner with an estimated net worth of $80million, became something of a recluse in his final years and was rarely seen in public.
