It’s been more than a week since the world learned about the shocking death of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa.
And for most of that, the circumstances surrounding those deaths were completely bewildered by investigators.
Hackman was 95 years old, so his death usually doesn’t deserve much of an investigation. However, his late wife was only 65 years old and had no known health issues.
The cause of Jean Hackman and Betsy Arakawa’s deaths has been revealed
Today, medical researchers’ offices The survey results have been announced A couple’s autopsy.
Examiners announced that Hackman had died from heart disease and complications caused by Alzheimer’s disease.
Arakawa died from a rare disease known as Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. It is usually spread by rodents.
Medical inspectors estimate that Hackman died on February 18th, about a week after Arakawa.
. Obviously, there are still many questions to be answered about this very unusual case.
The death scenes of Gene Hackman and Betsia Arakawa continue to confuse investigators
Besides the mystery is the fact that Hollywood legends and his late wife have been found dead in various parts of the house.
One of the couple’s dogs passed away, but the other two were still roaming their property.
Initially, many people estimated that death was the result of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning, but these theories were ultimately ruled out.
Currently, professional medical inspectors are positing new possibilities that may help explain how the seemingly unrelated deaths of two people a week apart in the same residence occurred.
Medical inspectors say death could be the result of a “broken heart” situation
James Gill is the Chief Inspector of the Connecticut Chief Medical Laboratory. He is do not have He participated in an investigation into Hackman and Arakawa’s deaths, but prior to the official discovery, he shared an informed theory of outsiders. people magazine.
“From the first situation, it seems he’s broken down. He has a history of heart disease. He has a pacemaker. That’s not uncommon,” explains Gill.
“But the unusual part is, why did she collapse too? You assumed she found him. Then you start to wonder: There’s this, where the stress of seeing someone die can cause her to die naturally.”
Gill says it’s most likely. Hackman “found it” [Arakawa] And he went out to get his phone and get his phone, but he fell down from the stress. It’s highly likely. He is getting older, he has a known heart disease. But an autopsy will certainly show if she has heart disease or cancer or what you have. ”
I describe two natural deaths that occurred around the same time as “a nearly injured heart type known to occur.”
“All of a sudden you find your loved one dead on the floor, and it increases your adrenaline, which can make your heart beat faster and it can make your heart into an irregular rhythm,” he says.
Gill notes that prescription drugs were found to be scattered near Betsy’s body. Perhaps she was engaged in a final groove effort to treat known existing diseases.
He said, “People are very disappointed and they do something to take their lives. I think a detailed toxicology test will help rule out the causes of poisoning or injuries.”
Now, it appears that Hackman has not been able to help or warn authorities about Arakawa’s death due to his advanced Alzheimer’s disease.
For now, the mystery remains unsolved
Gill concluded by warning that the inspector would not be able to speak in full until the investigation is completed.
“I think autopsy and toxicology testing is something that needs to be seen to make that final decision,” he says.
“If not, it’s like speculation at this point.”
Since he made those statements, Me’s office has released their findings, but alas, many questions remain.
We will update more about this developing story as new information becomes available.
