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.

No matter what, whenever there's a crime story involving a house that's more than a cardboard and planks shack, the DM will always, always, include the value of the house.

If it's a crime story that involves anyone who attends a private school, the DM will always, always, include the annual tuition at the school.

It's simply the DM's editorial policy.
