Gene Hackman and Wife's Tragic Deaths Investigated

News summary

Betsy Arakawa, wife of actor Gene Hackman, died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare rodent-borne disease, in February. Prior to her death, Arakawa searched extensively online for flu-like symptoms and COVID-19-related conditions, such as dizziness and nosebleeds, possibly due to Hackman experiencing flu-like symptoms. She had contacted a local medical service for consultation and exchanged emails with her masseuse about Hackman's health. Hackman, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s, died about a week later from heart disease. An environmental assessment of their property revealed significant rodent activity, likely contributing to Arakawa's hantavirus infection. The investigation report released by authorities sheds light on the couple's tragic final days, with police body camera footage showing investigators at their Santa Fe home.
