Legendary actor, two-time Oscar winner and author Gene Hackman and his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, were found dead Wednesday afternoon in their home in the Santa Fe Summit community northeast of the city.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed just after midnight Thursday the couple had died, along with their dog.

Mendoza said in an interview Wednesday evening there was no immediate indication of foul play. He did not provide a cause of death or say when the couple might have died. 

Hackman, 95, had lived in Santa Fe since the 1980s and married Arakawa, 63, in 1991.

Sheriff's deputies arrived at the couple's home on Old Sunset Trail, in a gated community off Hyde Park Road just north of Ten Thousands Waves, on Wednesday afternoon to investigate the deaths of two elderly people and a dog.

It was unclear whether the deputies were responding to a report of the deaths or if they were making a welfare check at the home.

They all 3 dead at the same time and nothing suspicious?  How can that be??

Could be carbon monoxide poisoning.
