Gene Hackman And Betsy Arakawa's Bodies Suggest They Have Been Dead For Days Or WeeksSpeaking on the Friday morning episode of "Today," the sheriff of Santa Fe County, New Mexico, Sheriff Adan Mendoza, shared new information about the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa.
He revealed that the timeline between when they died and when their bodies were discovered could possibly be several days or even weeks.
"It's very difficult to put a timeline together even with the help of the office of the medical investigator," Mendoza informed the public during the show, per the New York Post. "Just based on their body and other evidence on the body, it looked — it appears [that they were deceased for] several days, even up to a couple of weeks."

At the time of the discovery of the bodies, both Hackman and his wife had started showing tell-tale signs of body decomposition, supporting the sheriff's statement that they had been dead for a while.
Additionally, the couple had not been seen for weeks by members of their community, further lending credence to the sheriff's belief.

Investigation Remains Ongoing Into The Couple's DeathThe authorities had earlier revealed that they had begun an investigation into Hackman and his wife's death despite not suspecting foul play.
As part of the investigation, they are tracing individuals whom the couple may have spoken to in the weeks before their death.
An autopsy is also being carried out on the bodies, which the sheriff believes will reveal key information about the deaths.
"There's no indication that anybody was moving about the house or doing anything different, so it's very hard to determine if they both passed at the same time or how close they passed together," Mendoza spoke further about the death of the couple.
He added, "We're trying to put that information together … and I think the autopsy report is going to be key to this investigation."

911 Call Reveals Moment The Gene Hackman And His Wife Were Found DeadAccording to TMZ, a male caller could be heard frantically telling the dispatcher that he'd seen two bodies that weren't moving, pleading that help be sent to the actor's Santa Fe mansion in New Mexico.
The caller, believed to be one of the two maintenance workers called Roland Lowe Begay and Jesse Kesler, tried to fight back tears as they repeatedly exclaimed "Damn" while sniffing.
According to the news outlet, the caller stood outside and looked through a window while reporting the incident to the dispatcher.
At a point, he said, "[It's] a female and a male probably. I don't know, sir. Just send somebody up here really quick."
The dispatcher can be heard asking for details about the "patients," but the caller couldn't give details on their ages or genders.

The caller also noted that he had "no idea" if Hackman and Arakawa were "awake" or "breathing" as he "was not inside the house."
The Couple' Possibly' Died Due To A Gas Or Chemical LeakMeanwhile, Santa Fe Fire Chief Brian Moya, who joined Mendoza on the show, suggested that some type of gas or chemical leak may have caused the couple's death.
"That was a home with natural gas in it, so it could have [played a factor in their deaths]," Moya revealed on the show.
He continued, "There's a lot of unanswered [questions] there. When we arrived, we made sure our people as well as the sheriff were safe, and there was nothing that we found. We also went back again yesterday to do another round of searches … and we didn't find anything as well."
Moya's claims follow earlier comments from Hackman's daughter, Elizabeth Jean, who shared that the cause of death might be toxic fumes, per TMZ.

"I try to take care of myself," Hackman told his host in the 2004 clip. "I don't have a lot of fears.
