About this listen

 Legendary actor Gene Hackman, 95, was found deceased in his Santa Fe, New Mexico home alongside his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and one of their dogs.

Hackman’s death was attributed to cardiovascular disease and advanced Alzheimer’s, while Arakawa’s passing was linked to a rare hantavirus infection. Authorities ruled out foul play, but the circumstances of their deaths have raised questions. The passing of the two-time Academy Award winner marks the end of an era, as Hollywood and the world mourn the loss of one of the greatest actors in cinematic history.
