Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, have been found dead at their home, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office says.
In an interview with Santa Fe New Mexican, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said there was no indication of foul play and their dog had also died.
He said Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 63 and a classical pianist, were found dead on Wednesday afternoon (Thursday AEDT) at their home in Santa Fe Summit north-east of the New Mexican city.
Mendoza did not provide a cause of death.
Hackman won an Academy Award for The French Connection in 1971 and another for Unforgiven in 1992.
He received Oscar nominations for Mississippi Burning, I Never Sang For My Father and Bonnie and Clyde.
Hackman and Arakawa had reportedly lived in Santa Fe since 1991.
