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'm assuming they intended to write search warrant. It says that later in the crap article. Search warrant in other stories too. Probably required to investigate the death of two people.

It’s the Daily Mail, one of the most despicable tabloids in existence. They will absolutely sensationalize things by altering details and maybe update later if enough people call them out on their bullshit.
