Authorities have revealed new details surrounding the death of Betsy Arakawa, 63, wife of actor Gene Hackman, prompting public speculation. Investigators discovered puzzling elements at the scene, including an open pill bottle with pills scattered nearby.
A Santa Fe detective found three dogs at the property: one loose, another near Arakawa’s body, and the third dead in a bathroom closet. Authorities also observed that a heater had been moved, and Arakawa’s 95-year-old husband was found dead in a separate room. No immediate signs of a gas leak were reported.
As details emerged, social media users expressed confusion and skepticism, with some initially suspecting carbon monoxide poisoning. The cause of death remains undetermined as the investigation continues.
