The initial autopsy of the late Hollywood actor Gene Hackman and his wife showed no external injuries or trauma to either person, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in their Santa Fe home on Wednesday, after sheriff deputies responded to a request for a wellness check of the couple, who reportedly had not been heard from for two weeks. 

Authorities are investigating the deaths as "suspicious" because of the circumstances surrounding their deaths. Hackman's body was found on the floor in a mudroom and Arakawa's body was found on a bathroom floor near a space heater. Pills were scattered on the counter near where Arakawa's body was found and both showed signs of decomposition. 

"It's not normal to find two people deceased in the residence," Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said Thursday. "That's concerning. And then there was also a dog that was in a kennel that was also found deceased."

Official autopsy and toxicology reports are still pending, the sheriff’s office said, but foul play is not currently suspected. Carbon monoxide and toxicology tests have also been requested for both Hackman and Arakawa, per CNN, though the initial investigation found no immediate signs of a carbon monoxide leak or natural gas leak.

Mendoza also said there was no obvious sign of a struggle and no items were missing. 

The final autopsy and medical examiner's report could take up to 4-6 weeks to come in.

Hackman, who died at 95, is survived by his three children who he had with his ex-wife.
