A timeline of how actor Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa died at their New Mexico home
New Indian ExpressSANTA FE, N.M.: Actor Gene Hackman died of heart disease a full week after his wife died from hantavirus in their New Mexico home, likely unaware that she was dead because he was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease, authorities revealed Friday. Then authorities in New Mexico released the causes, proposing a simple but tragic theory for the deaths: Shortly after Arakawa’s death from a rare infection, Hackman died of the nation’s leading killer — heart disease — apparently unable to seek help after his wife died. “It seemed such a great mystery to the entire nation.” Here’s a timeline of events surrounding the couple’s deaths: Feb. 11 Arakawa’s last known activities happened this day. Based on this information, chief medical examiner Dr. Heather Jarrell said it is reasonable to conclude that Hackman probably died around Feb. 18.
