Authorities have released a trove of records related to the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, including a lengthy investigation report detailing some of the last emails, phone calls and internet searches by Arakawa indicating that she had been scouring for information on flu-like symptoms and breathing techniques.
Arakawa died in February of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) - a rare, rodent-borne disease. Hackman is believed to have died about a week later of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease.
