The Santa Fe County Sheriff\u2019s Office is understood to have made an error in their reporting on the mysterious death of Gene Hackman and his wife.<\/p>\n

Hackman\u2019s body was discovered inside his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, last week, with his wife Betsy Arakawa also found dead, along with one of their dogs.<\/p>\n

It was initially reported that their German Shepherd was found dead near Arakawa, but a report from\u00a0USA Today<\/a>\u00a0has revealed that there was a mistake in the identification of the pet, as the one the police claim was found dead is actually still alive.<\/p>\n

The report notes that the canine in question, named Bear, is alive and well, with another Akita-Shepherd mix named Nikita also found alive at the residence.<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, the dog who died was a 12-year-old reddish Australian Kelpie named Zinna. Joey Padilla, who transported the living dogs to his facility, Santa Fe Tails, said her body was found in a closed crate on the premises.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf only people knew how meticulous and amazing [Hackman and Arakawa] were with the dogs,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>he said.\u00a0\u201cIt breaks my heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/em>The wrongful identification is thought to be a genuine mistake by the investigators. Bear and Nikita, are staying with Padilla while lawyers seek to ascertain whether the couple had any particular plans for the animals in their wills.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the investigation into the tragic deaths of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa remains ongoing.<\/p>\n

The authorities have already ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning following toxicology tests, but they fear that a full autopsy could take at least three months.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
