The big story of the day concerns the mysterious deaths of Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, his wife Betsy Arakaw,63, and one of their dogs in their New Mexico home. Authorities believed they had been dead for quite some time. However, their two other dogs were found alive and safe.
Neither foul play nor a suicide pact have not been ruled out. Nothing in the house seemed amiss or something like a gas leak or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Snip:
"It's not normal to find two people deceased in the residence," he said Thursday. "That's concerning. And then there was also a dog that was in a kennel that was also found deceased."
The fire department tested but “did not locate signs of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning,” the warrant says.
New Mexico Gas Co., which provides natural gas service to the home, conducted testing on a gas line in and around the residence.
“As of now, there are no signs or evidence indicating there were any problems associated to the pipes,” the warrant says.

Gene Hackman's career reached its peak in the 1970s. He didn't have leading man looks, but he did okay all the same:
Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner, was known for his roles in the 1974 thriller “The Conversation,” 1967’s “Bonnie and Clyde” and the 1971 crime drama “The French Connection,” which earned him his first Academy Award.
He would win his second Oscar in 1993 for “Unforgiven.”
Over his career, he earned four Golden Globes, two British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) and a Screen Actors Guild Award. His last movie was 2004’s “Welcome to Mooseport.” He retired from on-screen acting that year.
