Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Actor Gene Hackman and his wife were found dead in their home Wednesday under 'suspicious' circumstances. Here's what we know
Legendary actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their New Mexico home Wednesday along with their dog in circumstances officials deemed "suspicious enough" to warrant thorough investigation.
The cause of death is not yet known. The pair did not have any external trauma and there were no immediate signs of foul play, according to preliminary autopsies and officials. Authorities also note there were no immediate signs of a carbon monoxide or natural gas leak.
The couple's bodies were found in separate rooms in their house, with scattered pills found next to Arakawa, according to police.
Hackman, 95, was an Oscar-winning actor known for his roles in films such as "The French Connection," "Hoosiers, "Unforgiven" and "The Firm." Arakawa, three decades Hackman's junior, was a classical pianist.
Here is what we know about their deaths.
911 caller saw Hackman and Arakawa lying on the floor through window
Hackman's and Arakawa's bodies were discovered by maintenance workers at the home just before 2 p.m. local time Wednesday, according to the sheriff's office affidavit for a search warrant obtained by CNN affiliate KOAT.
In a 911 call obtained by CNN, a caller said they could not enter the home but could see two unconscious people through the window.
"No, dude, they're not moving. Just send somebody out here really quick," the caller said.
Police responded to the call and discovered Arakawa's body on the ground inside a bathroom next to an orange prescription pill bottle with scattered pills on the floor, the affidavit said.
The body "showed obvious signs of death, body decomposition, bloating in her face and mumification (sic) in both hands and feet," the affidavit said.Hackman's body was then found on the ground near the kitchen, in a similar condition. A walking cane and sunglasses lay next to the body. The deputy suspected he had suddenly fallen, the affidavit said.
A dog in a crate was also dead.
Two other dogs alive on the property.
It had been 2 weeks since maintenance workers had seen Hackman alive on the property. 
I dunno, 95 is pretty good, Gene!!
And right before the Oscars so you can get special mention? That's cinematic timing!!
