New Clues in Mummified Gene Hackman Family Deaths Deepen Mystery

Police have deemed the deaths of legendary actor Gene Hackman and his wife “suspicious” after searching their New Mexico mansion. Among the details that caught their eye: The front door was left ajar, the couple’s bodies lay on the floor in separate rooms, and an open pill bottle was discovered with pills scattered across the floor near Hackman’s wife. Police added there were “no obvious signs of gas leak,” discrediting a theory that has spread online.
