#GeneHackman’s wife #BetsyArakawa died from rodent-born hantavirus one week before the actor ultimately died from cardiovascular disease with advanced Alzheimer’s, according to the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator. OMI chief medical investigator #DrHeatherJarrell and Santa Fe County Sheriff #AdanMendoza shared the autopsy results in a press conference on Friday, confirming that both individuals died naturally in their New Mexico home before they were found on Feb. 26. “It is reasonable to conclude that Mr. Hackman probably died around Feb. 18. Based on the circumstances, it is reasonable to conclude that Mrs. Hackman passed away first, with Feb. 11 being the last time that she was known to be alive,” Dr. Jarrell said. “There is no reliable scientific method to accurately determine the exact time or date of death.” 🔗 link in bio for more on this story.
