The dog found dead with actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arawaka, was partially mummified at the time, according to a New Mexico state necropsy report obtained by the New York Post.

Zinna, which was short for Zinfandel, was in a crate in a bathroom near Arakawa's body when first responders arrived at the home and reported to have died of dehydration and starvation, according to veterinarians. The report also claimed that the dog's severe decomposition could have hindered changes in the organs, though there was no evidence of infectious disease, trauma or poisoning found during lab testing.

The couple's two other dogs were reported to have wandered the property for days and guided first responders to the legendary actor. Hackman, 95, was reported to have died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease with Alzheimer's as a factor, while Arakawa, 65, was reported to have died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, New Mexico State Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Heather Jarrell confirmed.

Arakawa is suspected to have died first as all outgoing communication from her cellphone and email ceased on February 11, the last day she was spotted publicly, while Gene is suspected to have died on February 18, as it was the last day his pacemaker registered data, though Dr. Gerald specified that there was no reliable scientific method to determine an exact time for either death. Officials reiterated that foul play was not suspected in Hackman and Arakawa's deaths and the scene was tested for carbon monoxide, with only a minute leak found that was deemed to be insignificant.

Hackman, a two-time Academy Award winner, and his wife were married for 34 years. Police reportedly found the couple at around 1:45 p.m. local time on February 26. Hackman's legendary acting career spanned more than 60 years, providing an everyman believability to numerous iconic roles, including playing Jimmy Doyle in The French Connection (1971) and Little Bill Daggett in Unforgiven (1992), which won him the Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively.

The California native was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for roles in Bonnie & Clyde (1968) and I Never Sang for My Father (1971), as well as Best Actor for Mississippi Burning (1989). Hackman is also remembered for playing arch villain Lex Luthor in Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980), as well as Coach Norman Dale in Hoosiers (1986) and Royal Tenenbaum in The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) among numerous other iconic roles.
