Gene Hackman death investigation: Tested negative for carbon monoxide, actor likely dead for nine days, says official

The Hindu  

Preliminary autopsy results didn’t determine how Oscar-winner Gene Hackman and his wife died at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, but did rule out that they were killed by carbon monoxide poisoning, the sheriff leading the investigation said Friday. At a news conference, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said the initial examination by the medical examiner showed no sign of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas produced from kitchen appliances and other fuel-burning items. Mr. Mendoza also said an examination of the 95-year-old Hackman’s pacemaker showed it stopped working on February 17, which means he may have died nine days earlier. Dr. Philip Keen, the retired chief medical examiner in Maricopa County, Arizona, said the moment when a pacemaker stops working could mark the point when a person dies, but not always.
