The circumstances surrounding the tragic passing of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, are still shrouded in mystery, but one pathologist suggests he may be closer to discovering the cause.

Actor Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife Betsy Arakawa, 65, were found deceased in their Santa Fe home on February 26.

When the longtime couple’s bodies were found on February 26, it sent a shockwave through Hollywood. Authorities revealed that the couple had been deceased for days when they were found. The causes of their tragic passing are yet to be determined.

In a recent interview, Chief Medical Examiner James Gill, with the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, told People the couple may have passed away from natural causes.

Gene’s body was discovered in the home’s mudroom, and Betsy was found in the bathroom, with prescription pills scattered on the counter. In the bathroom closet, officials also found one of the couple’s three dogs deceased, according to a statement from the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office.

Regarding the situation, James Gill said, “From the initial kind of circumstances, it seems like he may have collapsed.”

“He’s got a history of heart disease. He’s got a pacemaker. So that would not be unusual. But the unusual part is that why then did she also collapse? Assuming she would’ve found him. Then you start wondering about: There is this thing where the stress of seeing someone d-e that could have triggered a natural d–th in her,” he added.
