The bodies of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa have still not been claimed, a month after the couple were found dead at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
As of yesterday, two individuals identified as Hackman, G. and Hackman, B. are still noted on the New Mexico medical investigator’s list of unclaimed decedents.
Hackman and Arakawa, as well as one of their three dogs, were found dead in their home on February 26. Officials later said the two-time Oscar winner likely died on February 18 from "severe heart disease" coupled with advanced Alzheimer’s. He was 95.
Arakawa, a 65-year-old classical pianist, is believed to have died roughly a week earlier because of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare but sometimes fatal disease transmitted from rodents to humans. — TCA
