The forensic expert&#8217;s heartbreaking theory suggests that what initially seemed like a mysterious or potentially foul play-related event may, in fact, be a tragic accident. Hackman, at 95, had advanced health issues, including coronary artery disease, and it\u2019s believed he suffered a fatal heart attack. His pacemaker\u2019s last recorded heartbeat pointed to this conclusion.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26069\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26069\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26069 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shutterstock_98150423-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shutterstock_98150423-1.jpg 650w, https:\/\/dailypositive24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/shutterstock_98150423-1-195x300.jpg 195w\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"1000\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gene Hackman and his wife were found dead in their Santa Fe home on February 26, 2025.

The space heater near her body could have played a role in her injury. She might have lost consciousness and died before being able to assist Hackman. The scattered pills near her body support this theory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1106\">The tragic fate of their dog, Zinna, found in the bathroom closet, suggests it died from dehydration and starvation after being trapped without food or water. Meanwhile, the other two dogs were found alive, highlighting the contrasting outcomes among the animals.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"lazyloaded\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=newsner&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1895099775386517723&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fen.newsner.com%2Fnews%2Fforensic-scientist-shares-theory-on-gene-hackmans-death%2F&amp;sessionId=5cd9366531e50ee6de5a61c1df72f91a8a39a0be&amp;siteScreenName=newsner&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1895099775386517723\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-rocket-lazyload=\"fitvidscompatible\" data-origwidth=\"\" data-origheight=\"\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1108\" data-end=\"1457\">Though there was confusion about which dog had passed, the correction made it clear that it was Zinna, not their other dog, Bear. Despite the mix-up, the forensic pathologist\u2019s theory offers a plausible and sorrowful explanation for this heart-wrenching tragedy. It was an accident marked by unfortunate events, rather than something more sinister.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1733\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">The way in which the couple\u2019s bond continued even in their final moments shows the deep love they shared.
