The Hollywood icon Jean Hackman and his wife, Betsi Arkawa, were found dead in their New Mexico’s house on 26 February, which led to many people in shock. Now, the authorities have released the cause of Arakawa’s death, highlighting heartbreaking circumstances around the last days of the couple.
According to a corpse examination report held on 27 February, a respected classical pianist Arakawa died at the age of 65 due to Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), which is a rare disease associated with rodent exposure. Health officials discovered signs of rodent activity in the couple’s house, which may have contributed to Arkawa contrarying the virus. However, the test confirmed that hackman did not contract the disease.
Meanwhile, the 95 -year -old mythological actor, known for classics such as French connections and unforganized, bends to high blood pressure and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Medical reports also indicated that Hackman was suffering from advanced Alzheimer’s disease, which may have played a role in the tragic time of events.
Officials suggested that, given their position, it was possible that Hackman was unaware that his wife had passed and may have died alone with his body for a week with his body.
During a press conference, the Chief Medical Examiner of New Mexico, Dr. Heather Jarell said that when the details are still being thoroughly investigated, the evidence suggests that the cognitive decline of the hackman would have prevented him from understanding what happened to his wife.
Although Huntavirus pulmonary syndrome is an abnormal disease, it is reported in parts of the southwest United States, where the rodent-enhanced areas are more likely to be exposed. The tragic passing of Arkawa gives a reminder of the risks associated with the disease.
The deaths of Jean Hackman and Betsi Arkawa have made a profound impact on those who knew him. As Hollywood and fans have mourned the loss of the most respected actors of cinema and one of their beloved wife, their legacy remains intact. Arkawa’s contribution to hackman’s career and art will not be forgotten, and his memory will remain in the hearts of many people.
