Investigators said the Oscar-winner Jean Hackman, his wife and one of his dogs were clearly dead for some time, before a maintenance worker discovered his body at the couple’s house in Santa F, New Mexico, the investigators said.
The bodies were found on Wednesday. Sheriff’s office spokesman Dennis Avila said there was no indication that he was shot or had a wound that would indicate to play dishonesty. But the detectives of the office of Santa F County Sheriff’s office wrote in the investigators of a search warrant affidavit that the deaths were “sufficient in nature for the need for a complete discovery and investigation.”
The 95 -year -old Hackman was in an entrance, and his 65 -year -old wife, Betsi Arkawa, was lying to her right in the bathroom. A space heater was next to his head and may be suddenly falling on the floor, according to the affidavit.
According to the warrant, New Mexico Gas cum tested the gas lines at home and at home after searching the bodies. At that time, there was no indication of problems and the fire department received no indication of carbon monoxide leakage or poisoning. A detective wrote that there were no clear indications of gas leakage, but he said that people coming in contact with gas leaks or carbon monoxide do not show signs of poisoning.
The Cruf but dear Hackman was one of the most skillful actors of his generation, who had been seen as villains, heroes and antihro in dozens of plays, comedy and action films since the early 2000s.
His daughters and granddaughter said in a statement on Thursday, “He was loved and praised by millions of people around the world for his brilliant acting career, but for us he was always only father and grandfather.” “We will remember him badly and will be destroyed by loss.”
The worker found the bodies of hackman and his wife
According to the search warrant affidavit, a maintenance worker said that the front door of the house was opened on Wednesday to do regular work, and he called the police after finding the bodies.
But in 911 calls, the maintenance worker said he was unable to go inside when the operator asked if people were breathing at home.
The subdivision’s caretaker said, “I have no idea.” “I am not inside the house. It’s closed. It’s closed. I can’t go inside. But I can see that he is lying on the floor from the window.”
He and another worker later told the officials that he rarely saw the owners of the house and had his last contact with him about two weeks ago.
Hackman fell, a deputy was celebrated. There was a sugarcane pass.
A dead German Shepherd was found in a bathroom cell near Arkawa, police said. Santa F County Sheriff Aden Mendoza said during a press conference on Thursday that the dog was found in a kennel. Two healthy dogs were found on the property – one inside and one out.
“There was no sign of struggle,” Mendoza said. “There was no indication of anything that disappeared or troubled from home, you know, it would indicate that there was a crime that happened.”
Sheriff officials said that the results of the autopsy held on both bodies are not yet available, given that carbon monoxide and toxic science test results are pending.
The search warrant affidavit suggests that the police show a working principle that “some types of gas toxicity” occurred, but that they do not know yet and are not doing anything, Loyola Marimount University’s law professor Laurine said.
“They do not have a clear evidence that this is any kind of murder, but they are asking for blunt equipment or other weapons, which can be used,” Levenson said, who has no relation with investigation. “It does not look like any planned double-suicide.”
Professor Jeffrey Bellin of William and Mary Law School said that the request for a search warrant was somewhat unusual because the investigators who file a filed, usually believed a specific offense that he was committed. In this case, no alleged crime was mentioned, Belin said.
Whatever the police have known, it has been abolished, but it is opposite, Belin said, which is not even related to investigation.
“It just cautioned me in such a way that search warrant affidavits are not often,” he said.
Actor is known for his versatility
Hackman regularly showed the Hollywood list of the greatest American actors of the 20th century. He is getting a coach in “Superman” ranging from comic book Villain Lex Luther to emotional favorite “Hosiers”.
Hackman was a five -time Oscar candidate, who won the best actor in a leading role for “The French Connection” in 1972 and two decades later later the best actor for “unexpected”. His death comes exactly four days before this year’s ceremony.
Hari hurriedly paid tribute to Hollywood.
“There was no fine actor compared to genes,” actor-director Clint Eastwood, hackman’s “unforgivable” co-star said in a statement. “Intense and comfortable. Never never a wrong note. He was also a dear friend I will remember a lot.”
Hackman and Arakawa settled in Santa FE
Hackman met Arakawa, a classical trained pianist who grew up in Hawaii, when she was working part-time in the gym in California in the mid-1980s. They soon moved together and moved to Santa FE by the end of the decade.
His south-western-style farm on the old sunset trail sits on a hill in a gailed community with scenes of Rocky Mountains. According to Santa Fay County Property Tax Record, a four-bedroom house on 6 acres (2.4 hectares) was constructed 6 acres (2.4 hectares) and its estimated market value was more than $ 4 million.
Hackman and his wife also had a more modest house at the next door.
According to the publisher Simon & Shoaster, Hackman co-written three novels, which began in 1999 with Daniel Lenihan with The Swashbakler, “Wake of the Perido Star”. She then concluded a female police officer in 2013 with “chase” in 2013, about a female police officer on a hunter’s tail.
In its first decades in New Mexico, Hackman was often seen around the historic state capital, known as an artist Enclave, tourism destination and retreat for celebrities.
He served in the trustee board for Georgia O’Cife Museum since 1997-2004, in a statement by the museum.
Post -year year of hackman
In recent years, he was very rarely visible, although even the most worldly outings attracted the attention of the press. In 2018 there were articles about attending a show at a demonstration art center, as well as pumping gas, working yard and getting chicken sandwiches in Wendy in 2023.
Apart from showing at the awards show, he was rarely seen in the Hollywood social circuit and retired from acting about 20 years ago. He had a rare Hollywood retirement that actually went on.
