Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Gene Hackman's home had 'no significant' gas or carbon monoxide leaks
Caption: Gene Hackman's home had 'no significant' gas or carbon monoxide leaks. The French Connection actor was found dead alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa and one of their dogs at their property in Santa Fe, New Mexico on 26 February. Hackman was 95 and Arakawa was 65. Despite no obvious signs of foul play, police officers decided the deaths were "suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation”. On Tuesday, representatives for the Sante Fe County Sheriff released an update from inspectors at the New Mexico Gas Company (NMGC) in which they confirmed they found no major gas leaks at the couple's home. The gas company investigator did report a "miniscule" gas leak on one of the stove burners, registering 0.33 per cent gas in the air, but insisted it was "not a lethal amount”. Last week, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza reported Hackman and Arakawa's bodies tested negative for carbon monoxide poisoning and that the Unforgiven star's pacemaker recorded its "last event" on 17 February. Toxicology and autopsy reports remain pending. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
