  • Hollywood legend Gene Hackman was found dead at 95 alongside his wife, Betsy Arakaway, and dog in his New Mexico home on Feb. 26 in an incident that is being investigated by authorities.

Gene Hackman, an acclaimed actor known for his roles in films like "The French Connection" and "Unforgiven," has faced significant health challenges in his later years. His health history includes a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, which was revealed by his daughter in 2011, although Hackman himself has not publicly confirmed this. Additionally, Hackman has dealt with cardiovascular issues, including a heart attack in 1990, which led to him undergoing quadruple bypass surgery. These health problems have contributed to his decision to retire from acting in 2004, focusing instead on writing novels and maintaining a quieter life away from the public eye. Despite these health setbacks, Hackman has managed to keep a relatively low profile, with his health conditions becoming public knowledge mainly through family statements and occasional reports.
