Speaking too TMZ, Gene Hackman suggested that carbon monoxide poisoning may have been the cause of her father’s death.
However, Elizabeth explained that she is not sure, but she only believes that the cause may have been caused by toxic fumes, and law enforcement has not found any signs of foul play, although Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza told us that his deputies have not ruled anything out and are still investigating.
Police said there was some doubt as to whether this was indeed the cause, and both the fire brigade and the gas company searched the property after the deaths.
“So far, there are no signs or evidence of any problems with the pipes in and around the home,” the New Mexico Gas Company said. Gene Hackman died a week before he was found.
The Santa Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department held a press conference to provide an update on the investigation into the deaths of legendary actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, stating that Gene had apparently been dead in his New Mexico home for a week and a half before he was found.
