The tragic passing of legendary actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa in their Santa Fe residence has left many questions unanswered. The couple, aged 95 and undisclosed, were discovered deceased at their upscale home by local security during a routine check.
Recent revelations indicate that Gene succumbed to heart disease just a week after Betsy’s unfortunate death from a rare infectious ailment. The authorities disclosed that Gene likely spent a week alone with his wife’s body before his demise.
Further complicating the situation, Betsy’s doctor contradicted the official date of her passing, stating she contacted his clinic a day after authorities claimed she had died. The doctor revealed that Betsy had contacted him about scheduling a heart scan for Gene before her unexpected demise.
Before the tragic events, the couple led a secluded life in Santa Fe, residing in a gated community where they valued their privacy. Reports suggest that their home was left unkempt, with no housekeeper in charge of the upkeep.
In the aftermath of their deaths, it was disclosed that Gene left his substantial £40 million estate to Betsy, with his children from a previous relationship not included in his will. The absence of children could potentially lead to legal disputes over the sizable inheritance.
The couple’s beloved pet dog, Zinna, was also found deceased near Betsy, indicating signs of neglect and malnourishment. The surviving dogs, Bear and Nikita, are under the care of a local pet facility.
The circumstances surrounding the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife continue to raise eyebrows as more details emerge, leaving a cloud of mystery over the tragic incident.
