Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in February, mistaken for flu or COVID-19. Her search history indicated concern for respiratory symptoms. Gene Hackman, who was 95 and suffering from Alzheimer's, was alone for days before his death, and their bodies were found two weeks later. New Mexico health reports revealed significant rodent infestation at their property, with signs of hantavirus risk. The couple had a private life and were later laid to rest with a small memorial service held by their family.
A review of Betsy Arakawa's internet search history showed she was looking for information on COVID-19 symptoms and breathing techniques, suggesting she was unwell before her death.
Hackman’s 95-year-old husband, who suffered from Alzheimer's disease, was alone for nearly a week before his death from cardiovascular disease.
The couple's Santa Fe property was found to have a significant rodent infestation, which poses a known risk for hantavirus exposure.
It was noted that while traps were set around the property for rodents, the main residence showed no signs of infestation.
