Geoff Bennett:
And famed actor Gene Hackman has died. Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found dead in their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, yesterday. Authorities are still investigating the cause, but a search warrant affidavit described their deaths as suspicious. Police say both had been dead for some time before their bodies were found, along with one of their dogs.
An open pill bottle and scattered pills were also found close to Arakawa’s body.
As John Yang reports, Hackman was one of the great actors of his generation.
