Expert casts doubt on Gene Hackman ‘companion suicide’ death theory

One week on, the deaths of acting legend Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy are still shrouded in mystery, with much speculation about what exactly happened before the couple were both found dead in their Santa Fe home.

Now, one expert has cast doubt on any speculation that the death could have been a “companion suicide”, where a couple dies by suicide together.

James Gill, Chief Medical Examiner, with the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, is not working on the Hackman case but offered his expert opinion in a new interview with People.

Gill said the locations the couple were found made him think it was unlikely they had decided to end their lives together.

“I’ve seen cases like that — usually they’re together in bed,” he says. “The fact that they’re in two separate locations tells me that I think that’s less likely.”
