Gene Hackman, wife found dead in sprawling Santa Fe estate: what the investigation tells us so far
Fox News
Academy Award-winner Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead at home in Santa Fe by New Mexico officials under "suspicious" circumstances.
"From an investigator's standpoint, there are clues. This is something, ultimately, the medical examiner or medical legal investigator will weigh in on. But detectives generally have a good idea about what they're looking at." "You have to be very thorough, very painstaking in this case. They'll do full-body X-rays, they'll do exhaustive external examinations before they ever do a full autopsy." "A pink color of the skin makes it obvious right away that it's carbon monoxide poisoning, but in a decomposing body, you couldn't see that color very clearly."
