Audio from the 911 call released on Thursday by Santa Fe County reveals the emotional moment a worker reported the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, outside their Santa Fe, New Mexico home. The call is edited down for brevity.

The Santa Fe County sheriff Adam Mendoza said Friday that it appeared that “just based on their body and other evidence on the body, it appears several days, possibly even a up to a couple weeks” had passed before their bodies were found.

Police said they found the body of a German shepherd in the bathroom closet. Two other dogs were found alive on the property.

No foul play was suspected, authorities said, though a search warrant showed investigators thought the deaths were “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation.”
