Gas Company Issues Statement After Extensive Investigation at Gene Hackman’s Home

The New Mexico Gas Company conducted a thorough investigation at Gene Hackman’s Santa Fe home following reports of a potential gas leak. While a small, “minuscule” leak was found at a stove burner, it was determined to be at a level too low to cause harm. The investigation also revealed four code violations related to the installation of gas appliance lighters.

Despite these findings, authorities have ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning or any foul play as causes for Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa’s deaths. No obvious signs of a gas leak were found, and further inquiries are still underway. The deaths remain mysterious, and while pills were found, there are no clear indications of how they passed. The situation is still under investigation, with authorities working to determine the exact causes.
