Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 63, were found dead in separate rooms of their Santa Fe home on February 26. While no signs of external trauma were discovered, authorities consider the scene “suspicious enough” to investigate further.

Their deaths have left fans mourning the loss of a cinematic icon and his wife, marking what many call “the end of an era.”
