The conducted research allowed us to find out the exact cause of death of two-time Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa. This was reported by Bloomberg on March 7.

"Hackman died of a heart condition caused by Alzheimer's disease, and Arakawa died a few days before him from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome," the agency quoted chief medical investigator Dr. Heather Jarrell as saying.

It is noted that Hackman's hantavirus test showed a negative result.

Hackman, 95, and Arakawa, 65, were found dead in their home in a gated community in Santa Fe on February 26, Bloomberg reported. At the same time, it is added that, "apparently, they died at the beginning of the month."

On February 28, CNN learned about the possible death of actor Hackman nine days before the discovery of the body. It is noted that such conclusions were made based on the data of the artist's pacemaker. The last activity of Hackman's heart was recorded on February 17.
