Investigators Remove Medication From Gene Hackman And Betsy Arakawa's Home

Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawas home has had medications removed from it by investigators.

The Hollywood icon, 95, and his spouse, 64, were discovered in their secluded mansion on Wednesday sparking a probe by authorities into their cause of death with family members speculating about carbon monoxide poisoning and police ordering autopsies and toxicology tests to determine the cause.

Investigators are now reported to have searched the 3.8 million property on Thursday listing thyroid medication, Diltiazem, and Tylenol among the items found inside. Betsys body was widely reported to have been discovered on the bathroom floor, with an open bottle of prescription pills scattered nearby.

An affidavit also stated: New Mexico Gas Company responded to the residence and was conducting active testing on the gas line in and around the residence. As of now there are no signs or evidence indicating there were any problems associated to the pipes in and around the residence.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said: Initial findings noted no external trauma to either individual. There were no apparent signs of foul play. The manner and cause of death has not been determined. The official results of the autopsy and toxicology reports are pending. This remains an open investigation.
