New Delhi:
The 97th Academy Awards are going on. During the ceremony, Ben Still took a moment to honor his late co-star Jean Hackman, who died at 95 last week.
Ben, who shared the screen with Hackman in the 2001 film The Royal Tennonbams, recalled the famous actor as a true “huge” in the film industry.
Talking to the Peepal magazine on the red carpet, the Still shared his praise for the hackman: “He was one of my full favorite actors. Growing up, films had an effect in all ways through French connections, business, Hosiers, for me, he was a symbol of authenticity, charisma and honesty.”
The two worked together at the Royal Tennonbams, including Gwneth Paltro, Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson. Still played the role of Hanman’s on-screen son Chas Tenonbam.
According to police reports, Jean and his wife Batsi Arkawa were found dead at their Santa FE house with their dog on Wednesday.
Officials have initiated an investigation into deaths, although there is no doubt from any dishonesty at this time. They have termed the situation as “suspicious” and are completely investigated to determine the cause.
Hackman, 93, and his wife, 68, were discovered by two maintenance workers in different areas of his house. Arkawa was found on the bathroom floor next to the bottle of an open leaflet, while the hackman was found in the mudum near the kitchen, he had sunglasses next to him. A dead dog was also discovered near Arkawa, while two other dogs were found to be alive on the property.
The investigation found no indication of forced entry, and emergency respondents received no indication of gas leaks or carbon monoxide issues. The detectives confirmed that the bodies showed signs of decomposition, and the couple fell to the ground. Arkawa’s body showed signs of inflammation and mammification, and hackman had similar signs in the body.
The Santa F County Sheriff Office has issued a search warrant for the house, as they continue to investigate the circumstances around the deaths. No painful injury was found on any body, and for this reason toxic science and carbon monoxide tests are underway.
Officials are treating deaths with suspicion but have not yet provided additional details. Investigation is on.
