New details regarding the deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa may significantly affect the distribution of Hackman's estate. Authorities clarified the timeline, revealing that Betsy sought medical help the morning after she was initially believed to have died. She passed away from hantavirus, while Hackman later died of heart disease and Alzheimer's complications. The estate plans could be influenced as Hackman left his $80 million fortune to Betsy, who had intended her assets for charity, raising legal questions about their wills and beneficiaries.
"If Betsy passes away first, and then Gene, his will in a sense would become void because the individual he wanted his items to be passed to no longer exists in the eyes of the law."
"Authorities have offered a new timeline about when Betsy Arakawa died, which could play a role in where Hackman's fortune goes."
