The 95-year-old was found dead in his Santa Fe home alongside wife Betsy, 63, and their pet dog on Wednesday afternoon.

Mystery still surrounds the shock deaths with investigations into what may have caused the triple tragedy ongoing.

The first alarm was sounded yesterday when neighbors called up cops to report their concerns over the couple’s well-being, per ABC News.

Deputies rushed to the couple’s $3.8million mansion at around 1:45pm and found both of their bodies inside the home.

It is believed to have taken an agonising 12 hours to formally identify the couple with their deaths only being confirmed Thursday morning.

Police have said they do not suspect any foul play was at hand but have been unable to provide any official answers as of yet.

Chris Ramirez, spokesperson for the New Mexico medical investigator’s office, says confirmation from the medical examiner’s office could still take anywhere between four to six weeks.
