Did Gene Hackman and Wife Die of Carbon Monoxide?

Did Gene Hackman and Wife Die of Carbon Monoxide?  The focus should be on CO ambient in air levels and COHb levels in their blood, the condition of home appliances and existence of CO alarms. 

And yet another days headlines start with a mysterious death of a family, this time Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/obituaries/gene-hackman-dead.html

While no cause of death has yet been determined, carbon monoxide poisoning has to lead the forensic investigation. Few other causes would kill not just Hackman and his wife, but the family dog.

Did Gene Hackman and his wife die of carbon monoxide poisoning? Details will likely be forthcoming soon. (Not his home.)

Today, despite all of his other performances, it is the movie Class Action, where he plays the kind of lawyers we are, that comes to mind. Class Action is the bigger than life legal drama where the clash of good versus evil gets caught up in the personal drama of the lawyers lives.

So many questions the news media will be asking over the next 48 hours. Was there COHb in the Hackman’s blood? What were the ambient CO air levels in their house? Was it a boiler, a furnace or a car left running in an attached garage? Who was servicing the appliances at this home? Were carbon monoxide alarms working? How does this happen to someone with all of life’s advantages?
