PRINCE William has paid a heartfelt tribute to Gene Hackman after the star was found dead alongside his wife and dog at home.
Police in Santa Fe revealed the star, 95, was found dead alongside his wife Betsy Arakawa, 63, and their dog in their plush $3.8 million home on Wednesday.
This comes as the film star’s family believe the married couple may have been poisoned in a suspected gas leak.
One of the couple’s horrified friends found the bodies inside their $3.8million Santa Fe home and desperately called the cops on Wednesday afternoon.
Mystery still surrounds the shock deaths as the pair were found in separate rooms and one of their dogs was dead in a kennel while the others miraculously survived, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said.
Deputies rushed to the couple’s $3.8million mansion at around 1:45pm and found both of their bodies inside the home.
Cops have now labelled their deaths “suspicious” because “the reporting party found the front door of the residence unsecured and opened”, per TMZ.
