An examination of the dog found dead along with actor Gene Hackman and his wife in their Santa Fe home shows dehydration and starvation were likely what led to the animal’s demise.

The deceased dog was found in the home with the bodies of the actor and his wife, Betsy Arakawa. The couple’s two other dogs had survived.

Actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico last month. Now, as legal experts attempt to work through his will, it sounds like the actor's son has hired a lawyer.
