An investigation is underway into the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, who were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, N.M., on Wednesday.

Mr. Hackman’s body was found in a mud room, and Ms. Arakawa’s on the floor of a bathroom, according to a search warrant affidavit. A dead German shepherd was discovered in a closet of the bathroom near Ms. Arakawa.

The Santa Fe County sheriff, Adan Mendoza, said on Friday that it appeared that “several days, possibly even up to a couple weeks” had passed since the couple had died.

The last event recorded on Mr. Hackman’s pacemaker was on Feb. 17, the sheriff said at a news conference on Friday, adding that it was a “very good assumption” that he died that day.
