Gene Hackman's daughter thinks her father and his wife died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Elizabeth Jean Hackman told TMZ that while they are not sure of the couple's cause of death, they think it could be due to inhaling toxic fumes.
The Oscar-winner, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 64, were found dead in their Santa Fe home on Wednesday.Â
Elizabeth also told TMZ police did not find any signs of foul play at the actor's home.Â
Hackman, Arakawa and their dog were all dead when deputies entered their home to check on their welfare around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, Santa Fe County Sheriffâs Office spokesperson Denise Avila said.Â
Santa Fe sheriff Adan Mendoza added that officials are 'in the middle of a preliminary death investigation' which is 'active and ongoing'.Â
Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner with an estimated net worth of $80million, just turned 95 in late January. He became a recluse in the last 20 years of his life, after retiring from acting in 2004. He packed up his things, left Los Angeles for a quiet life in New Mexico - and he never looked back.

Hackman shared three children with his first wife Faye Maltese. He and Arakawa, a classical pianist, had been married for the last three decades.
The gruff-but-beloved Hackman was among the finest actors of his generation, appearing as villains, heroes and antiheroes in dozens of dramas, comedies and action films from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s.
He was a five-time Oscar nominee who won for The French Connection in 1972 and Unforgiven two decades later. His death comes just four days before this yearâs ceremony.
Hackman met Arakawa, a classically trained pianist who grew up in Hawaii, when she was working part-time at a California gym in the mid-1980s, the New York Times reported in 1989. They soon moved in together, and by the end of the decade had decamped to Santa Fe.Â
