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, 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. Mummification takes place when an individuals skin and tissues are persevered following their death. Although it's synonymous with Ancient Egypt and bandages, it can also take place if a body is left in a cold, drug area, allowing bacteria to grow.
Santa Fe, where they lived, is known for its colder climates during the winter months. Initial reports suggested that the German Shepherd was discovered in a kennel but the heartbreaking reality is very different. Their beloved dog was found just 10 to 15 feet away from Betsy, in a closet just off of their bathroom.

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. Two of their dogs survived the tragedy.
Maintenance workers Roland Lowe Begay and Jesse Kesler discovered Gene and Betsy's body at their lavish mansion at 1:46pm, Mountain Time, on Wednesday. They told authorities that they hadn't seen the couple for two weeks and noticed that their front door was ajar. However, there was no signs of a break in.
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."
