Oscar-Winning Actor Gene Hackman and Wife Betsy Arakawa Pass Away Under Mysterious Circumstances
In a tragic turn of events, Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, passed away within days of each other at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The couple's deaths, which occurred under circumstances indicating isolation and serious health issues, have left the public and the film industry in shock.
Betsy Arakawa was the first to pass away. She was found deceased in the couple's living room, having succumbed to Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, a severe respiratory illness caused by exposure to virus-infected rodents. The couple's home showed no signs of forced entry, carbon monoxide leaks, or external trauma, suggesting natural causes related to illness rather than foul play.
Gene Hackman survived alone in the house for about a week after Betsy's death before he was found deceased in a mud room near the kitchen. His cause of death was hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer’s disease as a significant contributory factor. The couple's home, a gated community property, appeared to have been their sanctuary for some time, with limited recent contact even with maintenance workers.
One of the couple's dogs was found sitting beside Arakawa's body during the police video, while another dog, a 12-year-old Australian Kelpie mix named "Zinna", was found dead in a dog box, having died of dehydration and starvation. No criminal indicators were detected by police in either case.
Betsy Arakawa, age 65, died from complications of a Hantavirus infection. The Hantavirus is spread through the droppings of infected rodents. Her death has raised questions about the couple's health and Hackman's surroundings.
Gene Hackman, a two-time Oscar winner, died of heart failure. He was also diagnosed with advanced Alzheimer’s disease and severe heart disease, which likely contributed to his death while alone after Betsy’s passing.
The couple's children, Christopher, Elizabeth, and Leslie, attended a private funeral held in Santa Fe for both Betsy and Gene. Investigations by authorities continue. The events surrounding Arakawa and Hackman's deaths have left many unanswered questions, and the film industry mourns the loss of one of its greatest talents.
