SANTA FE COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – Newly-released body camera footage shows the confusion and questions investigators had after actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their home. Records show Gene Hackman’s wife researched symptoms of illness days before her death The investigation started in late February after no one had seen the couple for days. Some of the first deputies to arrive to the home described a confusing scene. “Two totally separate areas. I know it’s strange. One dead dog,” deputies can be heard in body camera footage. It was a maintenance worker who called 911 to the home of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, concert pianist Betsy Arakawa. The reclusive couple had lived in Santa Fe since the late 1980s. They were found dead on February 26, along with one of their dogs, inside different rooms of their Hyde Park area home northeast of Santa Fe. Police body camera footage shows deputies finding 65-year-old Arakawa dead in a bathroom. The 95-year-old Hackman was found dead near the kitchen. Medical investigators believe the couple died about a week apart, with Arakawa dying of Hantavirus first, while Hackman died of heart disease with Alzheimer’s as a contributing factor, days later. Deputies in the footage can be heard talking about trying to figure out if there was a gas leak. “It smells like gas. You smell gas. Yeah something. If there was a gas leak and they both went down, that doesn't make sense why those would be off,” said Santa Fe County Sheriff Deputies. New Mexico Gas later determined there was only one small gas leak, but not enough to be a significant factor. In its investigation, the sheriff's office also collected video showing the last time Arakawa was seen alive in public, shopping at a store. A newly released report from the State Department of Health indicates inspectors found evidence of rodent droppings and dead rodents in multiple garages and sheds around the property. ...read more read less
