American actor Gene Hackman could have died nine days before the discovery of the body. This was reported on February 28 by the TV channel. href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/28/entertainment/what-we-know-gene-hackman-betsy-arakawa-hnk/index.html">CNN with reference to local authorities.

It is noted that such conclusions were made based on the data of the artist's pacemaker. The last activity of Hackman's heart was recorded on February 17.

"According to the pathologist, I think it's a very good guess that it was his last day of life," Santa Fe County Sheriff Adam Mendoza said.

He clarified that it has not yet been established whether Hackman died at the same time as his wife. According to the sheriff, it will take several days. Investigators are restoring the chronology of events by analyzing the planner found at home and data from a mobile phone, and interviews with witnesses are also underway.

In addition, as the law enforcement agencies added, the long interval between the death and the discovery of the spouses is evidenced by the severe decomposition of the bodies. However, experts stressed that these data cannot be accurate, as even a full autopsy cannot determine the time of death.

The death of Hackman and his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa, became known on February 27. Upon discovering the bodies on Wednesday, February 26, the police said that the death of the couple was not violent. On the same day the actor's family informed the media about their assumption that carbon monoxide poisoning could have been the cause of death.

It was noted that a thorough investigation was needed, as no signs of a gas leak were found.

Hackman's film career spanned more than 40 years, with more than 90 roles to his credit. The actor was especially known for his work in the films "The French Connection", "Bonnie and Clyde", "The FBI", "A Bridge too Far", "Mississippi on Fire", "Unforgiven".
