New Mexico Chief Medical Medical Examiner Heather Jarrell released the cause of death for Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arkawa, on Friday. Hackman died of cardiovascular disease, the examiner determined, placing his date of death on February 18th, when his pacemaker last recorded an abnormal rhythm. Hackman and Arakawa were found dead on February 26th. Jarrell determined Arakawa could have died as early as February 11th of hantavirus. The Mayo Clinic calls hantavirus a pulminary disease “that begins with flu-like symptoms and progresses rapidly to more severe diseases”. At a press conference, Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza reported that Arakawa was seen running errands on surveillance cameras Feb. 11th, and corresponded with her massage therapist. Hackman also had Alzheimer’s disease but tested negative for hantavirus. Both deaths have been ruled natural causes after initially seeming suspicious. Hackman was 95 and Arakawa 65.
