US investigators are trying to determine how the actor won by Oscar Jean Hakman and his wife, classic pianist Betsy Arakawa, died after the discovery of their bodies at their home in the United States in New Mexico.

Here’s what we know so far about the death of a Hollywood legend, known for such films as the French relationship and conversation.

Warning: This article contains details that some readers may find a disorder.

How were death found?

The couple’s bodies and one of their dogs were found by police on Wednesday at their home in Santa Fe in the US state of New Mexico after a support worker called emergency services.

A 911 conversation recording, received from the BBC, shows the emotional call, who tells the dispatcher how he found the two bodies.

The 95 -year -old hackman was found in a side room near the kitchen, while the 65 -year -old Arakawa was found in a bathroom, in the Old Sunset Trail property in Hyde Park.

The couple seems to have been “dead for a long time,” said sheriff Adan Mendosa.

Arakava’s body showed signs of “decomposition” and “mummification” in the hands and feet, said the sheriff’s detective.

Hakman’s remains “showed obvious signs of death, similar and consistent” with those of his husband.

A German Shepherd Dog owned by the couple was found dead in a closet in Banya near Arakava.

How could a hackman and Arakava die?

No cause was given in police statements as soon as the death was announced.

Authorities say there are no signs of injury, but believe that death is “suspicious” enough to investigate and do not rule out a fake game.

Near Arakava’s head, there was a portable heater that the detective determined that it could be removed in the event that it fell sharply to the ground.

Hakman and Arakawa have been requested for carbon monoxide and toxicology tests and a hackmann.

The local utility company did not find any signs of gas leakage in the area and the fire service did not find an indication of carbon monoxide leakage or poisoning, according to the search order.

The order suggests that the police may have a working theory that “some gas poisoning” has happened, but that they still do not know and exclude anything, the professor of law at Loyola Merimount Lori Levenson has been quoted as he says by the Associated PressS

A recipe bottle and scattered pills lay on the bathroom countertop near Arakava’s body.

The hackman was found, wearing gray bottoms of the tracksuit, a blue long -sleeved T -shirt and brown slippers. Sunglasses and a pedestrian cane were lying next to his body.

The detective suspects that the actor has suffered a sudden fall.

Why are deaths considered suspicious?

The circumstances of their death are considered “sufficiently suspicious in nature to require a thorough search and investigation,” the search order said, since the worker who called the emergency services found the front door of the property open.

However, the detective does not monitor signs of forced entry into the home. Inside did not appear in place.

“There were no struggles,” Sheriff Mendoza said. “There was no indication of something missing from home or disturbed, you know that this will be an indication that a crime has come.”

Two other, healthy dogs were found, roaming the property – one inside and out.

What do we know about the time of their death?

All we know is that two maintenance workers, one of whom called the emergency services, say they last had contact with the couple two weeks earlier.

The two workers said they sometimes did a routine job in the property, but rarely saw a hackman and Arakawa.

They communicated with them by phone and text, mainly with Arakava.

What do we know about the couple’s health?

Hakman’s daughter Leslie Ann Hakman told The Mail Online that her father was in “very good physical condition” Despite his age, he has not undergone “any major operations” in recent months.

“He liked to do Pilates and yoga, and he kept doing it several times a week,” she said. “So he was in good health.”

The couple, married in 1991, had a “wonderful marriage,” she added.

“I give credit to his wife Betsy that he kept him alive,” she said. “Betsy) took care of a lot, very good care of him and always took care of his health.”
