A Santa Fe doctor has claimed that Gene Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, called his private clinic 24 hours after authorities said she’d passed.
The actor lost his life due to heart disease, with Alzheimer’s being “a significant contributing factor.” New Mexico’s chief medical examiner stated that the former pianist passed away a week prior, on February 11, from hantavirus, a rat-borne respiratory disease.
However, a Santa Fe doctor now claims he received a call from Betsy on February 12.
