Gene Hackman's daughter Leslie has gushed about his "wonderful marriage" with musician Betsy Arakawa.
The couple, and their dog, were found dead at their home on Wednesday afternoon and police said there were no apparent signs of foul play. The search warrant executed by cops attending the scene has now been released which lays bare a number of mysteries, including if Gene, 95, fell.
He had been married to Betsy, a classical pianist, since 1991. Betsy was Gene's second wife, after a three-decade marriage to bank clerk Faye Maltese ended in 1986. He had three children with Faye, including Leslie, who paid tribute to her father on Thursday.
Leslie described Gene and Betsy's bond as a "wonderful marriage". She said: "I give credit to his wife, Betsy, for keeping him alive. She (Betsy) took very, very good care of him and was always looking out for his health. I am appreciative to her for that, and I'm very saddened by her passing."

She added: "We need to wait and find out whatever information from the police. We weren't expecting to have to go out there and go through the house and all that. So we have some work cut out for us. But yeah, we'll be going out to New Mexico."
Gene's nephew, Tim Hackman, also shared his grief. When asked by reporters if Gene had had any major health issues, Tim, 51, said: "I mean, he was old. I'm sure he had some [health] concerns, but nothing that was shared."
Tim's mom Barbara Hackman was married to Gene's brother, Richard, a stuntman who died 11 years ago. The last time Tim saw Gene was at his father's funeral, he told Mail Online. Tim continued: "Eleven years ago was the last time I physically saw him. He only came to California during the warm weather, and then he just stayed in New Mexico."
The family members' comments come as the full extent of the police investigation into the mysterious deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife can be revealed for the first time - and the troubling questions facing cops.
The probe continues in Santa Fe, New Mexico - as Hollywood mourns a megastar who won two Oscars, two BAFTAs and four Golden Globe Awards in an illustrious career which spanned four decades.
