In February, Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, passed away from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease transmitted by rodents, and an investigation revealed she had been researching flu-like symptoms and breathing techniques prior to her death. Gene Hackman died approximately a week later from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer's disease as a contributing factor, and the couple's property in Santa Fe, New Mexico, was found to have rodents, although their main living quarters were not infested. The report provides insight into the health challenges the couple faced and clarifies the circumstances leading to their deaths, highlighting Arakawa's concerns about overlapping symptoms with COVID-19.
