How Mr. Hackman and his wife died

Arakawa, 65, died from Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease that is contracted by contact with mouse droppings, the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator announced Friday. According to the CDC, Hantaviruses “are spread mainly by rodents and are not spread from person-to-person.” And Hackman, 95, had heart disease and complications caused by Alzheimer’s disease and died from natural causes.

You’re late to the party.

It was pretty disturbing to read about the suspicion that Hackman’s wife died approximately a week before he did, and he never reported it.

I suspect dementia was a big part of why. Sad either way.

I think he was suffering from Alzheimer’s, which would make sense why the house was a mess and he didn’t notice her body
