While the bodies were found Wednesday afternoon, police were not able to identify them as the actor and Arakawa until Thursday morning, according to KOB 4.

Hackman and his wife were found in separate rooms The actor and his wife's bodies were found in separate rooms of their Santa Fe home, The New York Times reported.

One of their three dogs was found dead inside a kennel, according to Sheriff Adan Mendoza.

Police told the outlet that an associate of the couple called emergency services after discovering the bodies.

Sheriff Mendoza added that no suicide note was found and there were no obvious signs of trauma to the bodies.

'At this stage in the process there isn’t anything obvious like that,' the sheriff said. 'The autopsy is going to tell us more.'

The sheriff added: 'We’re not going to guess this was an accident or natural causes... It wasn’t typical.

I’m reading this and I’m thinking.... Isn’t this old news? I thought he died many years ago. I guess not.

I looked it up. He was 95 when he just died this week.

Yoko Ono took poisoned him out of compassion, poisoned the dog and then went hari-kiri with pills and wine?

This has an odd feel. I think if it was gas we would have heard something by now.

“Separate bedrooms? That’s bizarre?”

Not for older couples.

So not found for over several weeks? Dehydration I can see in only a few days, maybe a week. Think of the rule of 3’s:
1. 3 minutes without air.
2. 3 hours from exposure.
3. 3 days without water.
4. 3 weeks without food.

Regardless of the circumstances it’s very saddening. He was one of the last alpha males in a business that’s become testosterone-free…... and a fine actor as well.

Bodies were mummified, estimated dead for two weeks. She was in the bathroom surrounded by pills. The dog was in a bathroom closet.

Yes, dehydration is quicker and may be the cause. On the other hand, if the dog was older and had health issues, the lack of food (or perhaps medication) might have had an effect.

More than a few houses in Santa Fe don’t have -any- air conditioning at all. It sits at 7000 feet. And many of them are houses you would never expect to not have AC.

And now the sad thing is, because of the nature of what happened, whenever someone mentions Gene in the future, this will be the first thing that comes to mind, and not his career.

That sounds like he died of heart failure or something, she goes Japanese artist and takes pills and gives them to her dog, opened the front door to let his pooches wander the yard.

I’ll need a few more days before I issue my final report.

I didn’t think you thought it was bizarre. I was addressing the Daily Mail.

Illegal Aliens. Explains why it was initially buffed over as not suspicious. I suppose it is a fact that criminal activity by illegals is "not suspicious" when that is their expected behavior.

So he dies, she takes pills, and her dog in the closet dies of dehydration?
