Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, earlier this week, and new details have come to light about their tragic deaths.

In a shocking turn of events, investigators have uncovered a cache of drugs and a chilling document inside the “mummified” home of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman. The grim discovery has cast new light on the actor’s reclusive lifestyle and comes amid swirling rumours regarding the mysterious cause of death.

The family had previously hinted at carbon monoxide poisoning, prompting police to order autopsies and toxicology reports. Confirming the heartbreaking news, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza announced that Gene and his wife Betsy were found dead alongside their German Shepherd dog last Thursday.
