Gene Hackman And Betsy Arakawa Finally Buried
Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa’s remains have been buried in a private memorial attended by family members and close friends.
The couple’s bodies were found along with one of their dogs in their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on February 26.
The tragic discovery led to an investigation into the cause of their deaths, which was revealed weeks later.
On Tuesday, PEOPLE Magazine reported that Hackman and Arakawa were laid to rest.
In addition to the burial, the couple’s family and close friends honored their memories in a memorial.
The outlet disclosed that Hackman’s children, daughters Elizabeth and Leslie and son Christopher, attended the private memorial.
The memorial was recently held in Santa Fe, where the couple lived until their tragic deaths in February.
Hackman retired from acting in 2004 and relocated from Los Angeles to New Mexico to enjoy a quieter life.
In 2009, he told Empire that his health was the main reason for his retirement. He said, “The straw that broke the camel’s back was actually a stress test that I took in New York. The doctor advised me that my heart wasn’t in the kind of shape that I should be putting it under any stress.”
Hackman and Arakawa were loving their peaceful life in Santa Fe, away from Hollywood’s glitz and glam.
However, the couple dominated headlines on February 26 after their bodies were found dead following a welfare check on them.
Their deaths led to an investigation as authorities tried to unravel the mystery surrounding the tragedy.
