Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead along with their dog in their home in New Mexico on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to widen blocked or narrowed blood vessels, usually arteries, to improve blood flow. It is commonly performed to treat coronary heart disease. During the procedure, a small balloon is inserted into the affected artery and inflated to expand the vessel. In some cases, a stent (a small mesh tube) is placed to help keep the artery open. Angioplasty can help reduce the risk of heart attacks and other complications related to poor circulation.
The sheriff has not confirmed the cause of death yet, but although the police initially ruled out violence, they later described the circumstances as «suspicious» in the search warrant.
In an initial report, Mendosa authorities found an elderly man and his wife, around 60 years old, dead. He reassured the public, saying: «I want to assure the community and neighbors that there is no immediate threat to anyone. We do not believe violence was a factor in their deaths; however, the exact cause of death has not yet been determined».
Now, according to investigators, the scene was «suspicious enough to warrant a thorough search and investigation» after several items were found, including an open and unlocked front door, a healthy dog running around the property, another «healthy dog» found near Arakawa, and a dead dog, as well as a moved heater found near Arakawa.
The search warrant further clarified that the couple was found in different rooms of their home in Santa Fe, and they had been dead for some time. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office noted that Hackman was found in a mudroom, and Arakawa was found in a bathroom next to the heater. An open bottle of prescription pills was found on the countertop next to Arakawa.
The Daily Mail also reported that firefighters were called to the scene, but there were no signs of a gas leak. The publication added that Hackman was fully clothed, and his sunglasses were found next to his body, which may indicate that he died from a sudden fall.
The bodies of Hackman and Arakawa, described by the Daily Mail as «partially mummified», - were not officially identified until 12:30 on Thursday (2:30 Eastern Time). The couple had three dogs, and two of them were found alive, wandering the property
