and the meantime, carbon monoxide poisoning the sheriff also talked about, watch here. >> it is not -- it is not awed -- it's not normal to find two people deceased in a residence, that is concerning. then there was also a dog that was in a kennel that was also found deceased. we don't know the cause of that, obviously. but in our experience and working on cases like this, that is a possibility. >> trace: and dr., the first thing i saw -- i thought when i saw this was carbon monoxide poisoning but the gas company says there is no problem with the pipes at all. at least the initial findings. what you make of what happened? >> this is interesting because carbon monoxide does not come from gas pipes, it comes from burning fuel. so imagine you had gas that was burning somewhere in the house on the stove, in the oven, in the water heater, in the heater for the house, somewhere else and there was carbon monoxide being produced but not properly vented. that carbon monoxide could have been there in sufficient amounts a week ago, two weeks ago, whenever this happened to kill them and then what

carbon monoxide poisoning i don't believe would cause that. and probably they cannot go to sleep. else, what would have killed the dog? this is puzzling! >> precisely and that is they had scratcher. the nature of the relationship they had with this particular dog if there is anything more sinister here, perhaps, did they have particular affection for this animal? i don't know. nothing is off the table, whether it be any of the five manors have death homicide, suicide, accidental death, undetermined, or natural. everything has to be considered and that is why it is important to examine all of these remains very, very carefully. if they did die suddenly and they both collapsed simultaneously, which is kind of interesting statement that they are making there go to there has to be because of development. they were a huge age gap between mr. hackman and this is the 17th. i don't know what her level of disease was, perhaps heart problems or a stroke but i can imagine two people having simultaneous strokes and then to boot, the bow passes away as well and we have to be careful moving for

but i think that the carbon monoxide possibility is greater, except that they did not find any evidenceut the toxicology report from the toxicology and autopsy will be more significant and more accurate. >> laura: why would they have pills scattered about the bodies if it was a carbon monoxide leak? that's what everyone initially thought, correct? >> because carbon monoxide, when it causes death it's odorless, colorless, it doesn't cause pain in the person just drops where the person is. the person does not go to a bed. it looks like she was holding that pill bottle in her hand when she collapsed. she may have swallowed some, that will be seen at toxicology, but the fact that 1 is in the mudroom and the bathroom is much more the scene when multiple people die and the dogs died of something like carbon monoxide poisoning. it's not clear why they did not find it at the scene, probably the firemen, they have a device to look for carbon monoxide but it's not always accurate. the toxicology from the blood is going to be more accurate. >> laura: we are looking forward to seeing that. there's

naturally, the first thing you think of is carbon monoxide poisoning. it's one of those things. for the sheriff's office to say no immediate independent occasion of foul play. keep in mind, if it were and this is just speculation. if it were carbon monoxide and they passed away several days earlier, that would have, perhaps not been in the house at that time when the e.m.t.s showed up. so, there is a lot of speculation but it's just a sad ending to such a colorful and fantastic career. >> ainsley: and my dad's favorite movie, hoosiers. >> steve: it's great. >> ainsley: remember him in the firm did you ever watch the firm with tom cruise? he was the head of the law firm spying on tom cruise. >> lawrence: riveting actor and passionate in his delivery got that personality on set there. just sad because obviously you hope it was a peaceful transition for him and his family. but, what a way to go out after such a stunning career, gone way too soon, his wife. she was much younger than he was. >> steve: yeah. >> lawrence: 95. and i think she was in her 60's. >> ainsley: 63. >> steve: h

now, that's not to say that there was a carbon monoxide leak, but it's to say that carbon monoxide is generally a little bit lighter than air, which means that if there is a leak and there's some way for that air that leak to escape, then it may be completely dissipated by the time that first responders get there a few days or maybe even a week later. >> what do you make, danielle, of the open prescription bottle and pills scattered around? >> yeah, i know a lot. a lot has been made about that. that could be basically nothing. i mean, you know, often when people aren't feeling well, they start going to their medications and, and looking for something to make themselves feel better. we don't know what those prescription drugs are. um, and so i wouldn't put much credence into that. um, i've also worked crime scenes in which, uh, there was foul play at hand. uh, and individuals start to try to stage, uh, a death scene or suicide scene by sprinkling pills all over the place. the medical examiner is not going to be fooled by that, nor are forensic investigators will get to the bottom of wh

authorities are now saying hackman and his wife did not test positive for carbon monoxide. gene hackman's pacemaker might reveal when he died. abc's trevor ault in santa fe, new mexico, tonight. >> reporter: tonight, authorities investigating the suspicious deaths of legendary actor gene hackman and his wife, betsy arakawa, say preliminary tests show no sign of carbon monoxide poisoning. 95-year-old hackman had a pacemaker and an analysis showed its last event was february 17th, more than a week prior, and that may have been the day he died. >> according to the pathologist, i think that is a very good assumption, that that was his last day of life. >> reporter: after a security worker called 911 wednesday, hackman was found in the mud room near the kitchen, arakawa in the bathroom with prescription pills scattered on a counter nearby. one of their dogs also found dead in a crate ten feet away. investigators now analyzing data from two cell phones found in the couple's home along with medical records from medical testing service myquest, a monthly planner for 2025, and thyro

there were no obvious signs of carbon monoxide or gas poisoning. bodies were apparently partly mummified, having lain undiscovered for days, possibly weeks. >> all i can see is they've been deceased for quite a while. that's a determination that is better suited for -- and the experts, but it sounds like they had been deceased for a while. i don't want to take a guess in reference to how long that was. >> hackman's family released a statement acknowledging millions of people around the world loved and admired hackman's work, but added "to us, he was always just dad or grandpa." we have just got from the sheriff's office now an inventory of things taken from the hackman residence. when we -- those pills found in the bathroom where his wife was discovered, according to this return and inventory, what they found was thyroid medication, blood pressure medication, and tylenol. none of those would seem to be significant, a significant potential cause of death. that would appear, on the face of it at least, to rule out some sort of overdose with these kin

cyclists will still be allowed to use carbon monoxide in limited amounts for medical reasons.top of the hour. hello. on saturday, but towards the end of the day in kent, drier air from the continent started to clear the skies, that do this. next few days, then, we'll have quite a bit of rain across the east. now, in a bit more detail, over the next few hours, we do have some fairly heavy rain just moving its way we've got those clearer skies becoming more extensive to about —2 or —3 celsius, the frost is going to be pretty extensive. to the day here. slowly pushes eastwards. the afternoon, as it arrives across wales and western england, central and eastern scotland too, it'lljust be certainly no heavy rain left by the time we get to the afternoon. but this time, there will be some fairly strong winds around — gusts of around 50—60 miles an hour around the scottish islands, for example. the winds a lot lighter further east. the afternoon to northern ireland and scotland. and wherever you are, we're looking at mild weather conditions with a south/south—westerly wind. temperature

they did order carbon monoxide and toxicology tests to be done. that's standard practice with any type of death investigation that may have been, you know, happened under suspicious circumstances. and so we're waiting for that information to come in. but of course, this isn't just a tragedy. this is a gigantic mystery as well, because of all the factors that you just mentioned. yesterday afternoon, a911 call came in from a caretaker who said that they found these people home and they were deceased. authorities were dispatched there. interestingly, they found the door was open. it was not secure. they didn't find any evidence of any type of theft. but as you mentioned, they found betsy's body in one area near pills that were scattered. and of course, gene hackman's body in another area, a dog was found deceased as well, inside of a closet near where betsy was. so a lot of major questions here. one thing, early in the day, people were wondering, well, could this have been some type of maybe carbon monoxide poisoning or a gas leak? the fire departmen

they say that the medical examiner has ordered carbon monoxide, as well as toxicology tests, which is pretty standard when they're trying to investigate deaths that happen under suspicious circumstances. and so we're waiting for that information to come through. that could take some time. but, you know, this is obviously a tragedy, but it's also a mystery. what we're learning, i'll just kind of walk you through what we know right now. on wednesday, a911 call came in to the sheriff's department. this was from a caretaker at the residence of gene hackman, who discovered the two people there that were not moving. authorities arrived. they found betsy on the ground floor of a bathroom. nearby. her were several pills that were scattered in a nearby closet. there was a deceased german shepherd. gene hackman himself was found in a separate room. and so obviously, this investigation now underway. the authorities say they haven't ruled anything out yet. but what concerned them initially is that this could be some type of perhaps a gas leak or carbon monoxide. the fire department, as well as th

and it's worth pointing out, initially there was a question of was this some type of carbon monoxide exposure because you had, you know, three dead living beings in the same home fire department came in as well as the gas company. initially, they say they found no signs of a gas leak. >> and there was another dog alive in the house. and i understand one on the ground. when will full forensic tests be completed? >> yeah, these can take time. sometimes weeks, sometimes even months. whenever we're talking about these medical examiner investigations, because they have to get it right. they have to go through a lot of testing that's often sent out to other laboratories. and in this case, it's not just the medical examiner, but the sheriff also running their own investigation. what they found at that house when they arrived concerned them so much that they went to a judge and said, we want the authority to go search this residence, to try to gather as many clues as we can find in order to try to determine what happened here. >> all right. josh campbell, thank you. we're going to have you b

maria: the toxicology report will tell us in fact there was carbon monoxide or if there was somethinghat what you're saying. what does mummification mean. >> tox toxicology will tell a story. i've seen it with carbon monoxide where there's no outward signs and you see something malfunctioning. mummificatoin, in a dry climate like new mexico your body can become extremely wrinkled, and it's interesting, the time period it kind of broad but the time period can be months. it's not measured in weeks based on what my sources tell me and research. so they have been there quite a long time. that begs the question, why wasn't anybody checking in on them and there is no sign of foul play in the sense that things are ransacked or things are obviously missing here but it sure is suspicious that two people die at the same time in different parts of the house, roughly the same time period. there were some pills as everyone knows, everybody has probably read about it. maybe gene hackman died of natural causes and maybe she took the route of suicide. again, we'll have to wait for the toxicology repo

as for fire and gas, no carbon monoxide or gas leak detected.death considered suspicious. we noted that yesterday. this is the big one. autopsy, toxicology results are pending. if they're completed they haven't been made public. a big part of the investigation, paul mauro is here now. let me play a clip about the possibility of gas inside that home from the sheriff in sante fe. >> not ruling it out. what i did state was there was no obvious sign or indication of foul play. i think the autopsy. it is not normal to find two people deceased in the residence. it is concerning. there was also a dog in a kennel also found deceased. >> bill: put on your investigator hat, paul. where do you start? >> one discrepancy is the reporting about the front door. some speculation because the police said the door was ajar, maintenance worker said the door was locked and maintenance workers might have been talking about a different door, back door or something. clearly now it is shown from the 911 call they were talking about the same door, the front door. the mai
