In a heartbreaking revelation, local authorities reported that renowned actor Gene Hackman, who celebrated his 94th birthday earlier this year, and his wife, Betsy, have been found dead in their Santa Fe home. The couple was discovered by law enforcement after a welfare check was initiated due to lack of communication from them. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office stated that preliminary investigations indicate no sign of foul play, leading them to suspect natural causes. Gene Hackman, celebrated for his extensive film career, received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards for Best Actor in ‘The French Connection’ (1972) and ‘Unforgiven’ (1992). He has been married to his wife, Betsy, for nearly three decades, and together they have lived a relatively private life in New Mexico. Authorities have yet to release any additional details regarding the circumstances leading to their deaths, and the investigation is ongoing.
