The world is mourning the loss of legendary actor Gene Hackman, who was found dead in his Santa Fe home this past Wednesday. Alongside him were his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog \u2014 both also tragically deceased.<\/p>\n
Hackman, 95, had lived a long and fruitful life, but the untimely passing of his younger wife, Betsy, who was only 63, has raised many questions<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a deeply sad moment, and now, Gene\u2019s daughter has opened up about what she believes might have caused the tragic deaths.<\/p>\n
Did a welfare check
\nIn an interview with TMZ, Elizabeth Jean Hackman shared that the family isn\u2019t entirely sure what led to the deaths, but they suspect carbon monoxide poisoning could be to blame. \u201cThe house is fairly modern, built in 2000,\u201d Elizabeth explained, \u201cbut we don\u2019t know if there were any issues with gas leaks or if there were any recent service calls to the property.\u201d
\nAuthorities responded quickly after a neighbor raised concerns, performing a welfare check on the property. Deputies found the bodies and were joined by gas company and fire department personnel, who helped ensure there were no lingering toxic fumes that could endanger anyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
