Gene Hackman pursued an active lifestyle in the time leading up to his death despite his advanced age, according to his daughter, Leslie Anne Allen.
“He liked to ride his bicycle and he was still doing Pilates at 95 [years old],” Leslie told Us Weekly.
“We are very saddened about the news. It’s kind of shocking that his wife passed with him.”
Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 64, were found dead in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home on Wednesday, February 26, along with one of their dogs. Police were called to their residence for a welfare check after a neighbor expressed concern for their wellbeing.
Leslie said that she last spoke to her father about two months ago.
“We were going to do a DNA test through Ancestry.com because we didn’t know if he was German or not,” she recalled.

Although she said The French Connection star was in “good health,” Leslie also revealed to Us that her father’s memory had started to decline.
“He was doing ok. His wife told me that his memory was fading and he recently had a birthday and apparently his wife had to remind [him] three times it was his birthday,” she said. “But everyone was ok.”
