Authorities investigating the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa believe Hackman likely died nine days ago, according to data recorded by his pacemaker.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza told reporters at a Friday afternoon press conference that Hackman’s pacemaker last recorded an event on Feb. 17, though that doesn’t mean the pacemaker was implicated in his death.
Mendoza said an “initial interrogation” of the pacemaker showed “that his last event was recorded on Feb. 17, 2025,” which strongly suggests “that was his last day of life.”
The sheriff also confirmed earlier reports that authorities removed a handful of items from the legendary actor’s Santa Fe, New Mexico, home while executing a search warrant.
They include two green cellular devices, records from a medical diagnostics and health tracking company called MyQuest and a 2025 monthly planner. Officials also removed three types of medicine from the house: Diltiazem, typically used to treat high blood pressure; a thyroid medication; and Tylenol.
Mendoza declined to identify who was prescribed which medications, citing HIPAA laws.
The items were enumerated in a search warrant return released Friday and obtained by the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 65, were found dead in the home Wednesday during a welfare check, along with one of their dogs. It’s unclear who died first, Mendoza said.
While the sheriff said there were “no apparent signs of foul play,” the circumstances were “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation.”
According to the affidavit, Hackman’s body was found in a mudroom near his cane, and he appeared to have fallen, while authorities found Arakawa in a bathroom with a space heater near her head.
A countertop near Arakawa had an open prescription bottle and pills scattered on its surface.
Mendoza told NBC’s Today Show earlier on Friday that the couple appears to have been deceased for “several days, possibly even up to a couple weeks,” based on the decomposition of their bodies.
