Gene Hackman Likely Was Dead For Over A Week Before He & Wife Were Found, Sheriff Says

Noting that getting final autopsy and toxicology reports “could take months,” Mendoza added that initial results seem to rule out carbon monoxide poisoning as a cause of the deaths of the 95-year-old Hackman, the 63-year-old Arakawa and one of their dogs. Unseen for much of the last two decades, Hackman won Oscars for The French Connection(1971) and Clint Eastwood ‘s Unforgiven(1992), and was Oscar-nominated for roles in Bonnie and Clyde(1967), I Never Sang for My Father(1970), and Mississippi Burning(1988). Additionally, giving a masterclass in The Royal Tenenbaums(2001) and with Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide(1995), Hackman starred in The Poseidon Adventure(1972), Scarecrow(1972), ), A Bridge Too Far(1977), Under Fire(1983), Power(1986), Loose Cannons(1990), The Firm ( 1993), The Quick and the Dead(1995), The Birdcage(1996), Behind Enemy Lines(2001), and Runaway Jury(2003).
