Gene Hackman’s family has filed to block his and his wife Betsy Arakawa’s autopsy and investigation results, in a move that’s been deemed “highly unusual.”
The Hollywood legend, 95, and his spouse, a former classic pianist, 65, passed away sometime in February. Their bodies, as well as one of their three dogs, were found in their Santa Fe, New Mexico home at the end of the month.
It took weeks for authorities to confirm what caused their passing. For Hackman, heart disease was to blame, and his Alzheimer’s was a contributing factor. His wife suffered from hantavirus infection — but a local doctor has also revealed that she had called a clinic on February 12, one day after police assumed she had d–ed.
