Oscar-winner Gene Hackman, his wife and one of their dogs were apparently dead for some time. A maintenance worker discovered their bodies at the couple’s home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The New Mexico Gas Co tested the gas lines in and around the home after the bodies were discovered. A detective wrote that there were no obvious signs of a gas leak, but he noted that people exposed to gas leaks or carbon monoxide might not show signs of poisoning. \”We will miss him sorely and are devastated by the loss,\” Hackman’s daughters and granddaughter say in a statement.. The gruff but beloved Hackman was among the most accomplished actors of his generation, appearing as villains, heroes and antiheroes in dozens of dramas, comedies and action films from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s.
