Gene Hackman<\/strong> and his wife of 33 years, Betsy Arakawa<\/strong>, were found dead in their Santa Fe, N.M., home on Feb. 26 by two maintenance workers who spied their bodies through a window from outside the house. According to authorities, they alerted the caretaker in the gated community where the couple lived and that person called 911.<\/p>\n “No, they are not moving,” the caller told 911, per an audio recording. “Please send someone out here quick.”<\/p>\n When Santa Fe County sheriff\u2019s deputies arrived, they found Arakawa, 65, on the floor of a bathroom to the left of the frontdoor. She was clad in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, according to a Feb. 27 search warrant affidavit obtained by E! News, and there was an open prescription pill bottle and loose pills scattered on the countertop.<\/p>\n Hackman, 95, was on the floor in what deputies described as a mudroom near the kitchen, per the warrant. A walking cane and sunglasses near the body.<\/p>\n
