Gene Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner and former Marine, was found dead Wednesday afternoon along with his wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, in their home in Santa Fe, N.M., according to a report in the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper.

Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed just after midnight Thursday the couple had died, along with their dog, the report said.

Mendoza told the newspaper there was no immediate indication of foul play, but he did not provide a cause of death or say when the couple might have died.

Hackman turned 95 on Jan. 30.

The star of “The French Connection,” “Crimson Tide,” “Unforgiven,” and many other films lied about his age and enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 16, according to a Defense Department biography published last year. He served from 1947 to 1952 as a field radio operator and then as a broadcast journalist.

Hackman was stationed in the 1940s in Qingdao, China, and then Shanghai. Part of his duties, he said, was destroying Japanese military equipment so the communists couldn’t obtain it, according to the DOD biography.
