The French Connection star Gene Hackman, his wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog had all been found dead in their home in the Santa Fe summit community northeast of the city.

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Denise Womack-Avila said on Thursday morning that deputies replied to a welfare check request at the home around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday.
