The death of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa has generated significant repercussions on social media and in the press, capturing the public's attention due to the circumstances surrounding it. Both were found dead along with their pet at their residence on Thursday, February 27, and the exact causes of their passing are still unknown.
Local authorities initially ruled out the possibility of a crime, which caused controversy among online users, as it seemed strange that the three deaths occurred at the same time due to natural causes. In light of this situation, a former FBI agent has offered a new theory regarding the case.
According to statements from former agent Bill Daly in an interview with Fox News, one possible explanation could be food poisoning. Daly suggests that the couple's trash and refrigerator should be thoroughly examined for evidence supporting this hypothesis. Although it was initially speculated about a gas leak, the company responsible ruled out this possibility.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza mentioned in an interview with NBC that it is likely Hackman and Arakawa passed away a few weeks before their bodies were discovered, adding more mystery to this tragic event. Gene Hackman, a recognized 95-year-old Hollywood actor, and his wife, 63-year-old pianist Betsy Arakawa, left a void in the entertainment industry with their sudden passing in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
