Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman has died of natural causes, just days after his wife, Betsy Arakawa, who succumbed to a rare virus, according to a New Mexico medical investigator.
Hackman, 95, passed away at his home in Santa Fe due to coronary artery disease, with advanced Alzheimer’s disease cited as a contributing factor.
Arakawa, 65, died in the same residence from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), a severe respiratory illness linked to exposure to infected rodents. Her death was also classified as natural.
