Authorities who investigate the mysterious death of the legendary actor Gene Hackman, his wife and their dogs have concluded autopsies on both victims.
In the midst of intense speculation about how Hackman and Betsy Arakawa, 95 and 64 years old, tragically died in their $ 3.8 million house in Sante Fe, New Mexico, researchers have revealed that no external trauma was seen in both body room.
While the autopsies were completed early on Thursday morning, the authorities are still waiting for the full results, along with a toxicological report.
One of Gene's three children, Leslie Anne Hackman, had previously told DailyMail.com that she and her sister Elizabeth Jean speculated that they May have been killed by inhalation of poisonous vapors through a leak of carbon monoxide.
But Santa Fe City Fire staff and the New Mexico gas company tested the house of the couple on carbon monoxide and other foreign elements after their bodies were found, and concluded that the area was safe.
“New Mexico Gas Company responded to the house and performed active tests on the gas pipeline in and around the house,” said a sworn explanation.
“From now on there are no signs or evidence that there were problems that were related to the pipes in and around the house.”
Sheriff Adan Mendoza said on Thursday afternoon in a statement that “first findings did not notice external trauma for both individuals.”

The office of Santa Fe County Sheriff said that their bodies had been in their house at least one day before delegates had died. There are fears that they had been dead for as long as two weeks.
An arrest warrant obtained by DailyMail.com revealed that both bodies were found with signs of decomposition and partially mummified.

The bodies of the couple seem to have taken hours to identify, with news about their death not released until after midnight Thursday morning.
Hackman was found dead, a mud room near the kitchen of the couple. His sunglasses and reeds were on the floor next to him, which caused speculation that he might have died of a fall.
Arakawa was found dead on the floor of the pair of the pair. An open bottle of prescribed pills was partially distributed on a countertop nearby.
Neither of them showed any sign of wounds.
The results of an autopsy can take four to six weeks to publish, local officials have said.
Gene and Betsy married in 1991 and married 34 years before their tragic dead.
“They had a great marriage. And I give the honor to his wife, Betsy, because he kept him alive, “Leslie said.
