Tragic end: Gene Hackman and his wife died in old age!

Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States - The death of the legendary Oscar winner Gene Hackman (95) and his wife Betsy Arakawa (65) now throws a sad light on the terrible fact under which her beloved dog Zinna died. At the end of February, the two were found dead in their house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, while the dog had collapsed in a bathroom. An autopsy showed that Zinna probably died of dehydration and malnutrition because his stomach was practically empty, apart from a few hair and bile. This sad news was reported by Krone , which also points out that the dog may have been caught in a confined space without access to water and food.

The causes of tragic death

Investigators have confirmed that both Hackman and Arakawa died of natural death. Hackman probably suffered a cardiovascular disease, while Arakawa died of a disease caused by Hantaviruses. According to cnn both suffered from progressive health problems; Hackman was in an advanced stage of Alzheimer's disease, which meant that he was probably not aware that his wife had died. Her bodies showed signs of decomposition, which is not unusual in the dry climate content of Santa Fe and the altitude of almost 2200 meters.

The circumstances remain a challenge for the investigators. Although the causes of death were classified as natural, there are still open questions. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office currently ends the investigation by analyzing information from the couple's cell phones in order to create a detailed chronology of tragic events. In the meantime, the family has tried to prevent the publication of autop appeals to protect their privacy.
