Creepy way Gene Hackman's time of death was revealed after actor and wife were found mummified


The 95-year-old acting legend and his 65-year-old classical pianist wife were found mummified in their $3.8 million Santa Fe home last week.

Neighbors in their gated private community off a winding canyon road five miles outside of Santa Fe told The New York Times that despite living with the celebrity couple for years, most of them never even caught a glimpse of them. Friends occasionally shared glimpses of his post-acting life, including social media shots of fishing expeditions - while paying tribute to his silver screen triumphs. The gruff-but-beloved Hackman was among the finest actors of his generation, appearing as villains, heroes and antiheroes in dozens of dramas, comedies and action films from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s.
