LIVE UPDATE: Santa Fe, NM — Authorities are set to reveal more information about an investigation into the deaths of actor Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa, whose partially mummified bodies were discovered last month at their home in New Mexico. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office has said it does not suspect foul play, and tests for carbon monoxide poisoning were negative.

I don’t think we’ll ever know but him having advanced alzheimers/dementia he may have seen her but it didn’t register it a wicked disease, I think he passed first and she didn’t want to go on without him.
I met my good friend 9 years ago when he was 90 in a show.singing….. He will be 99 in August and he still calls me and we chat.. he’s pretty much got his wits like he’s in his early seventies…. Of course he’s got ailments now where he can’t walk too well.. he can’t hear without hearing aids and he’s been in the hospital a few times , but he comes out swinging… He always says, I don’t listen to the news. lives on chocolate ice cream and bologna sandwiches.. it’s all about the DNA…lol .. he has people that watch him, but he’s alone at night… Just recently when I chatted with him, he’s showing signs of not remembering, but he’s almost 100….I saw him 3 years ago and I always call if I can’t reach him… I live 5 hours away… . I call a couple of his friends and text them and ask if he’s okay.. So.. evidently the children thought Gene was fine because they thought his wife was taking care of him….. who knows what the family Dynamics are… I guess it must be documented that he had Alzheimer’s besides heart disease….it seems like everything was so quiet and for her to die from a rat disease, is so unbelievable. the whole scenario with 80 million in the bank with no help is sooooo hard to fathom.!!!!!!..sooo sad all around.. .
..
According to a close friend, Gene rejected technology, didn’t have a phone or email, and was unable to contact anyone. This sounds peculiar since another friend described Gene as being cognitive and active even in the advanced stages of his disease, suggesting he could have used Betsy’s phone if he could locate it. Being found near the door with his cane and sunglasses suggests he was preparing to leave, possibly to notify a neighbor.
Betsy was his primary caretaker, although it’s astonishing there wasn’t a contingency plan, let alone family and neighbors maintaining regular and frequent contact. Did Betsy permit or screen contact from Gene’s adult children, friends, and neighbors?
well. was GH going for help? did he know she was dead? was their house a filthy mess? didn’t they have a housekeeper? No one was there folks, none of their family members or friends stayed in touch. Old people die alone all the time.
