Authorities misidentified a deceased dog while investigating the deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, pianist Betsy Arakawa. According to a pet care specialist, the couple’s German shepherd, named Bear, survived, along with a second dog named Nikita, but their kelpie mix, Zinna, died. The specialist highlighted the special bond between Zinna and Betsy. The bodies of Hackman and Arakawa were found in their home in Santa Fe, with no significant findings of carbon monoxide or gas leaks. Authorities did not perform a necropsy on Zinna, who was initially misidentified as a German-Shepard canine. Personal items from the home, including cell phones and a monthly planner, have been retrieved for further analysis. Medical investigators are still working to determine the cause of deaths, with toxicology reports expected in the coming weeks. The sheriff’s office confirmed that there was a miniscule gas leak in the house that could not be lethal. This investigation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
