Video After The Jump
An investigation is underway after actor Gene Hackman, 95, and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 64, were mysteriously found dead alongside a dog in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home, authorities said.
The couple was found Wednesday afternoon during a welfare check after their neighbor called and was concerned about their well-being, according to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office.
There were no obvious signs of death. Their deaths were "suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation" due to all of the "circumstances surrounding" the scene, according to the search warrant affidavit.
The Academy Award-winning actor was found on the floor in the mud room, according to the search warrant. It appeared he fell suddenly, and he and his wife "showed obvious signs of death," the document said.
Arakawa was found lying on her side on the floor in a bathroom, with a space heater near her body, according to the search warrant.
Her body showed signs of decomposition, the document said. There was mummification to her hands and feet, the document said.
On the counter near Arakawa was an opened prescription bottle, with pills scattered, according to the search warrant.
A German shepherd was found dead about 10 to 15 feet from Arakawa, the document said.
But two other dogs were found alive. One healthy dog was near Arakawa and the other was located outside, according to the search warrant.
kman was a five-time Oscar nominee who won for “The French Connection” in 1972 and “Unforgiven” two decades later. His death comes just four days before this year’s ceremony

When you mix raw energy, deep emotion, and an unfiltered approach to hip-hop, you get Tunngtyed—a rap duo that’s bringing something fresh to the game. Comprised of Tha Baztad and G-Blunt, this Michigan-and-Philly-based team has been making waves since forming in mid-2023, feeding off each other’s energy to create a sound they call "Visceral Rap."
So, what exactly is Visceral Rap? According to Tunngtyed, it’s a fusion of horrorcore, hardcore, and conscious rap—a style that pulls from the depths of raw emotion and inner thought. Their music isn’t just about beats and bars; it’s an experience designed to make you feel something real.
Their debut single, “WATCH OUT!!!”, just dropped last week, introducing listeners to their dark, aggressive, and thought-provoking style. And they’re just getting started. Right now, they’re cooking up multiple projects, including solo albums, a group album, a mixtape, and even the score and soundtrack for an upcoming indie horror film. It’s clear that Tunngtyed isn’t just making music—they’re crafting an entire universe.
While they’re currently independent under their own label and have no plans to sign with anyone, they’re building a movement with the support of family, friends, and a growing fanbase. They’ve got collaborations lined up for future albums and dream of working with Alchemist, a producer known for crafting gritty, soulful beats that would fit perfectly with their sound.
As for live performances, they’ve rocked crowds of over 60 people and are looking to take their music worldwide, with New Zealand as a dream destination for a future performance. Touring is definitely in the plans, but when they hit the road, they want to bring along all the artists they collaborate with, making it a true movement.
In five years, Tunngtyed envisions themselves performing, selling merch, and even making a movie—expanding their artistry beyond music. With their unique approach, relentless work ethic, and boundary-pushing creativity, there’s no doubt that they’re on a path to making a serious impact.
