A gut-churning 911 call made after a maintenance worker found Gene Hackman's body has been shared.
The BAFTA award winning actor was found dead alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico on Wednesday. Currently, there is an open investigation into the cause of their death but it's believed there has been no foul play. Betsy was found lying on their bathroom floor with an open bottle of prescription pills scattered across a countertop. Currently, it remains unclear what the pills were and if they had been prescribed to Betsy or Gene. Meanwhile, Gene was found in a mud room off their kitchen.
Betsy, 63, was found decomposing with bloating to her face and mummification on her hands and feet. Hackman was found in a similar stage of decomposition and his wife. One of the male maintenance workers who found Gene and his wife Betsy made a frantic call to the emergency services. In the call, he was heard saying that the legendary actor and his wife were not moving. The individual whose name was redacted said that he found "two, or one deceased" bodies at the Santa Fe address.
He instantly went on to share the address of the home and told the 911 call operator that he would meet the emergency staff at the gate to the property. As the call operator issued a message to paramedics, the man making the call said: "Damn, damn, damn," while sniffing through tears.
The individual who discovered Gene and Betsy was unsure of the gender or ages of the patients. He added that there was no sign of movement at the home. "Just send somebody up here quick," he added. When asked if the patients were breathing or awake, he responded: "I have no idea, I have no idea, I'm not inside the house, it's closed. I see she's laying down on the floor."
In the call, obtained by TMZ, he says that Betsy and Gene were "not moving" before requesting urgent assistance. According to Sheriff Adan Mendoza, the couple died around midnight on Thursday 27 February and told The Santa Fe New Mexican: "I want to assure the community and neighbourhood that there's no immediate danger to anyone." In a search warrant obtained by TMZ, the official who requested the search warrant has written that he believes "the death of the two deceased individuals to be suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation".
He went on to write: "The reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened, deputies observed a healthy dog running loose on the property, another healthy dog near the deceased female, a deceased dog laying 10-15 feet from the deceased female in a closet of the bathroom, the heater being moved, the pill bottle being opened and pills scattered next to the female, the male decedent being located in a separate room of the residence, and no obvious signs of a gas leak."
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza stated there was no suicide note and no evident signs of trauma on their bodies. "At this stage in the process there isn't anything obvious like that," he said. "The autopsy is going to tell us more."
