Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, 64, were found dead in their Santa Fe, Mexico, home on February 26, 2025.

Pacemaker data from Gene Hackman indicated his last known event was on February 17, 2025, suggesting he died approximately nine days before discovery. Betsy Arakawa's body showed signs of decomposition, and an open prescription bottle with scattered pills was found near her. Initial tests ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning, and no signs of foul play or external trauma were found. Toxicology results are pending. The Emera — TECO Energy found no issues with the residence's gas lines. Two other dogs at the property were found alive and secured by Santa Fe Animal Control with family members.
