Gene Hackman's nephew addresses actor's death theories: report
Fox News
Gene Hackman's family is waiting for more concrete facts to come through from New Mexico investigators surrounding the Oscar winner's "suspicious" death.
New Mexico officials found Hackman, Arakawa and one of their dogs dead in their home one week ago. Detectives described their deaths as "suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation," according to a search warrant affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. "There are lots of theories out there and I don’t want to speculate. It’s easy to speculate negative theories." "The family wants to keep it positive for now and when we know the truth we will deal with it." Tracy Wright is an entertainment reporter for Fox News Digital.

Hackman and Arakawa tested negative for carbon monoxide, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed at Friday's press conference. Their residence was tested for the colorless, odorless gas and was cleared by the Santa Fe City Fire Department after authorities found no evidence of a carbon monoxide leak or poisoning.
