Oscar winner Gene Hackman, 95, died at home a week after his wife, Betsy Hackman, 65, succumbed to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. The sheriff's report indicates Gene may have been alone with Betsy's body for a week until his passing on February 18 due to cardiovascular disease complicated by Alzheimer's. Both were discovered in their Santa Fe home, alongside their deceased dog. Betsy died on February 11, having collected the dog from a veterinary clinic days prior. It raises questions about the tragic circumstances surrounding their deaths.
