Back in late February, Hollywood icon Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found deceased in their Santa Fe residence. Initial assumptions pointed to Arakawa's death on February 11, but an in-depth examination of her phone calls reshaped the timeline considerably.
Upon careful analysis, it appears that Arakawa made three crucial calls to a medical assistance service on February 12. Surprisingly, this service confirmed that they had contacted Arakawa back and scheduled an appointment for that same day, which she sadly couldn't attend. Previously, it was presumed that Arakawa passed away from hantavirus-induced illness, with her last public sighting on February 11, and her age being 65.
As for Hackman, investigators hypothesized that he succumbed to a heart-related issue around a week later. The unfortunate incident occurred in their residential property, which also claimed the life of a dehydrated dog. Two other dogs were fortunately discovered to be alive.
Hackman, a two-time Oscar laureate, gained acclaim through movies like "The French Connection" (1971), "The Conversation" (1974), and "Unforgiven" (1992). After retiring from Hollywood in the early 2000s, he resided with Arakawa in Santa Fe. A trustee of the couple has now requested confidentiality for numerous documents and photos related to their deaths. A court hearing has been scheduled for March 31.
The investigation into Arakawa's phone calls has revealed some inconsistencies in the timeline, but it doesn't provide clear answers regarding her cause of death. These phone calls seem to indicate that she might have been seeking medical advice due to illness symptoms, as she had previously canceled a scheduled appointment for respiratory problems due to feeling unwell[1]. The investigation continues to delve deeper into the mystery surrounding Arakawa's passing.
