Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa's dog's heartbreaking cause of death revealed


Most of the dog's stomach was empty aside for small quantities of hair and bile, the report states.

Zinna, Gene Hackman's 12-year-old dog who was found dead in his owners' home last month, likely died from dehydration and starvation, according to a reported examination done on the deceased canine. An investigation into the deaths is still being completed by the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, who are using information gained from cell phones gathered at the residence in addition to last contacts made to finish the timeline of events, according to the AP. 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.
