After leaving Hollywood, Gene Hackman retired in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he became a fixture in the community.

Legendary actor Gene Hackman, 95, and wife Betsy Arakawa, 64, and their dog were found dead in their home outside Santa Fe, authorities say.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza told NBC's “Today” show that investigators were trying to sort out conflicting stories about the doors. He said several doors were unlocked and a rear door was open, which allowed two dogs that survived to go in and out. He also said he thinks the front door was closed but unlocked.
