"Can you send someone really quick?" he asked.
The man was standing outside the house looking in when he saw the chilling scene.
He couldn't find a way into the house before cops came but begged them to hurry to the scene.
When the dispatcher asked him questions about the names and ages of the late couple, he didn't have answers.
It's unclear if the man knew Hackman and Arakawa.
Hackman and Arakawa were found dead in separate rooms on Wednesday.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said cops aren't ruling out foul play in the deaths on Thursday.
However, he said there were no obvious signs of foul play.
When investigators got a search warrant to search the house after the late couple was found, detectives wrote the deaths were "suspicious."
Cops found the front door of the New Mexico hope unsecured and open.
Officers also found two healthy dogs near the residence, while a dead dog was lying about 10 feet away from Arakawa in the bathroom, according to TMZ.
A bottle of pills was also reportedly found opened and scattered next to Arakawa, the outlet reported.
Officials said there were no obvious signs of a gas leak in the house.
