The last event on his pacemaker was recorded Feb. 17, which was likely the last day of his life, Mendoza said.<\/p>\n<p>Hackman&#8217;s body was found in a mudroom near the kitchen with a cane and sunglasses nearby, according to an affidavit for a search warrant.<\/p>\n<p>The sheriff&#8217;s office found medication for blood pressure and thyroid issues as well as Tylenol during a search of the home, according to an inventory of the search filed in court. Some pills were scattered on a bathroom countertop near where Arakawa&#8217;s body was found, according to the affidavit. Mendoza wouldn&#8217;t say who was prescribed the medication, citing patient privacy laws.<\/p>\n<p>One of the couple&#8217;s three dogs also was found dead in a crate near Arakawa, while their two other dogs were found alive.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"Classical pianist Betsy Arakawa and actor Gene Hackman attend the Mission Hills Celebrity Sports Invitational at Rancho Mirage, California, Nov. 29, 1991. \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/07\/5fb9b064-3cda-494c-b9a1-e604cfd36922\/thumbnail\/620x465\/5f0642e4367de406d90b6723a0cc61f2\/gene-hackman-betsy-arakawa-2154329691.jpg?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/07\/5fb9b064-3cda-494c-b9a1-e604cfd36922\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/ea3ae99cc9e16e625660c60532d0be17\/gene-hackman-betsy-arakawa-2154329691.jpg?v=63a2b43e2ef8917aa6bd547ca29dd4fa 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Classical pianist Betsy Arakawa and actor Gene Hackman attend the Mission Hills Celebrity Sports Invitational at Rancho Mirage, California, Nov. 29, 1991.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Jim Smeal\/Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Investigators also collected two cellphones from the home and a monthly planner, Mendoza said.
