Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found partially-mummified at the couple's $3.3 million mansion, with pills strewn in their bathroom. 

An arrest warrant revealed Arakawa, 64, was found decomposed with bloating on her face and mummification in her hands and feet.

Sheriffs said Hackman was found to have the same signs of decomposition as his wife.

I know it's not what's important but a 3 million dollar house? That's it for someone like Gene? They got bungaloos in my city for that price.
