Gene Hackman, the esteemed Hollywood actor, and his beloved wife, Betsy Arakawa, were sadly discovered deceased at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this February. Initially, the cause of Gene’s passing wasn’t clear, but it has now been confirmed that he died of natural causes.
Gene, who enjoyed a long and joyful life, was married to Betsy for over three decades. However, a close friend has shared that, in his later years, Gene found getting older quite bothersome.
The discovery was made by a caretaker around 2 pm, who then called 911 to report the tragic event. Gene’s daughters, Elizabeth and Leslie, along with his granddaughter Annie, expressed their deep sorrow in a statement to People Magazine, describing their father as both loved by millions and cherished by his family.
