Gene Hackman

16 months ago

Autopsies have finally revealed how Hackman and Arakawa died, solving the mystery that hung over them after their corpses were discovered at home last week.
Authorities revealed Friday that actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease and showed severe signs of Alzheimer's disease a full week after his wife died of hantavirus in their home.
Gene Hackman's wife Betsy Arakawa died of the extremely rare lung infection hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, officials revealed this week. The disease spreads from rodents.
The 95-year-old actor's Alzheimer's means it is "quite possible" he was unaware of his wife's death, say officials.
