Friends of the late Hollywood star Gene Hackman made a telling admission on his status days following his death. Hackman, who starred in movies like "Hoosiers" and "Crimson Tide," was found dead in his New Mexico home last week.

Gene Hackman’s nephew Tim Hackman spoke about the theories that have emerged after the sudden deaths of the Oscar winner and his wife Betsy Arakawa.

New Mexico authorities say preliminary autopsy results didn't determine how Oscar-winner Gene Hackman and his wife died, but did rule out carbon monoxide.
