The official autopsy report for actor Gene Hackman—released two months after he and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead in their Santa Fe home on Feb. 26—stated that heart disease was the leading cause of his death.
The autopsy, first reported by media outlets on April 27, also revealed that Hackman, 95, was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease and had likely not eaten for an extended period before his death.
