Authorities are searching for answers into the death of actor Gene Hackman, 95, who along with his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, were mysteriously found dead in Santa Fe.

Gene Hackman's pacemaker revealed his "last event" took place on Feb. 17, nine days before his body was discovered with wife Betsy Arakawa on Wednesday, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza shared at a Friday press conference.

The media circus hearkens back to the Rust shooting, when national outlets descended to report on every detail as they emerged.
