Oscar-winner Gene Hackman, aged 95, was discovered dead alongside his wife, Betsy Arakawa, in their Santa Fe home. Preliminary investigations indicated no signs of shooting or trauma. The couple's bodies were reported to have been in the home for some time before they were found by a maintenance worker. While gas lines and carbon monoxide levels were tested, no signs of a leak were observed. Hackman's family expressed profound grief, stating he was adored by many yet was their beloved father and grandfather.
He was loved and admired by millions around the world for his brilliant acting career, but to us he was always just Dad and Grandpa. We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss.
The gruff-but-beloved Hackman was among the best actors of his generation, appearing as villains, heroes and antiheroes in dozens of dramas, comedies and action films from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s.
