The death of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, shocked the world, with heartbreaking details emerging about their final days.
On February 11, Arakawa was captured in a surveillance video at a CVS pharmacy, wearing a mask due to Hantavirus. She passed away on the same day, with her death attributed to Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. This disease, caused by exposure to rodent excrement, has a high mortality rate.
Hackman, 95, passed away a week later on February 18. His death was due to hypertensive, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer’s as a contributing factor. Their bodies were discovered on February 26, and no foul play was suspected. The tragedy has left many devastated.
