An examination of the dog found dead along with actor Gene Hackman and his wife in their Santa Fe home shows dehydration and starvation were likely what led to the animal’s demise.

Gene Hackman, 95, died of cardiovascular and Alzheimer's disease likely around Feb. 18, about one week after his wife, officials said.

Betsy Arakawa’s body was found on a bathroom floor, roughly 10 to 15 feet from where Zinna’s remains were found in a crate.
