Oscar-winner Gene Hackman, wife Betsy Arakawa and their dog were dead for some time, warrant shows
Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies found Hackman, his wife Betsy Arakawa and a dog dead when they performed a welfare check, a spokesperson said.
You're viewing a single thread.
Pills scattered on a countertop where Arakawa was found. Hackman found in the mudroom, possibly having fallen. One dog was dead, two others were alive.
Speculation:
Hackman falls, dies. Arakawa panics (I don't blame her), the stress causes some kind of cardiac failure. She goes for aspirin or something, fumbles it (or whatever pill bottle she pulled out), dies. One dog eats some of the fallen pills, also dies.
The dead dog was in the bathroom closet. Very weird.
That kind of supports my speculation. Dog loves her, she's scrambling, dog comes. Ends up eating something it shouldn't have, feels ill, curls up in the closet. Dogs feel safer in enclosed spaces, "dens."
I'm a little confused by that, first the article says in the closet, then it says it was found in a kennel?
I've read a couple of articles and they both said the dog was found in the closet.
Definitely plausible!
