The autopsy of the bodies of Gene Hackman and his wife delivered their last secrets. According to Fox News Digital, who obtained the autopsy report, the 95 -year -old actor succumbed to “a hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease,” as the authorities said in early March.
The actor also suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. “The brain test revealed microscopic signs of Alzheimer’s disease at an advanced stage,” said the autopsy report revealed on Sunday.
The report also indicates that Gene Hackman had not eaten anything for a long time at the time of his death. This is revealed by the toxicological relationship that indicates the presence of acetone traces in its body. This solvent is in fact “a product of acidoceosis induced by diabetes and fasting.”
The report also downloads the carbon monoxide poisoning track, tests that reveal “a saturation of less than 5 %, which corresponds to a normal beach”, but also that of Hantavirus.
Pulmonary syndrome
It was in this disease, a Hantavirus lung syndrome, a disease transmitted by the excrement of infected rodents, which his wife Betsy Arakawa succumbed.
Gene Hackman, feeling ill, investigated his computer about the symptoms of Covid and the flu.
“These data suggest that Betsy actively sought medical information related to the symptoms of COVID-19 and influenza in the days before his death,” the report said.
Betsy Arakawa, 65, had been found with a bottle of open medications and pills scattered at the bathroom counter.
Dead a week before her husband
According to the Forensic Doctor of New Mexico, it is “likely” to die on February 11, a week before her husband. He was last seen on this date, when he went to the pharmacy and an animal store. On February 11, it also corresponds to the day when your phone and electronic communications have ceased.
“Given the circumstances, it is reasonable to conclude that Mrs. Arakawa died the first,” said the lawyer.
Therefore, the Oscar winning actor would have stayed at home after the death of his wife. “It is very possible that she did not know that she had died.”
