Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were found
dead in their home in New Mexico, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office
told CNN. He was 95.

 Damn, I know the guy wasn't performing any more but still.
 

Their cause of death has not been confirmed but it is not believed to be
foul play, Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Denise
Womack-Avila told CNN Thursday morning.

Deputies responded to a welfare check request at the home around 1:45
p.m. Wednesday and found Hackman, Arakawa and a dog deceased,
Womack-Avila said. An investigation is ongoing, police said.

 I wonder if they suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning? That would
explain all three dying from what otherwise sounds like a non-violent
death.

That's my thought too - the only way the dog also dies under "non-foul play" circumstances is something like CO poisoning.
But he made it to 95. (His wife only made it to her 60s.)
I do wish he hadn't totally retired, but it's likely best for his legacy that he did.
