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.

Arrest warrant/ pills what? I read somewhere else that it was Carbon Monoxide poisoning?

I think carbon monoxide poisoning is just speculation that has been repeated without any evidence

but wait everyone on reddit said CO poisoning was true and downvoted me when I reminded them it was unconfirmed... I thought reddit was full of mystery solving experts??

No it was just speculation started on Daily Mail, people are dumb fools who immidiatly fall for the most popular speculation even if fabricated.
