What Really Killed Gene Hackman & Betsy Arakawa? Investigators Trace A Viral Killer

Shocking new details have emerged in the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa. Health officials say their $4 million New Mexico estate was infested with rodents, nests, droppings, and dead animals were found across eight buildings, sheds, garages, and even vehicles. While the couple’s main home was clear, Betsy died from hantavirus, a rare and deadly illness spread through rodent contamination. Investigators believe the couple was aware of the infestation due to traps around the property. Betsy is believed to have died on February 12, and Hackman, 95, followed nearly a week later. Their bodies weren’t discovered until February 26, leaving many questions and heartbreak behind.
