SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Forensic experts came to a simple but heartrending conclusion about the manner of death for 95-year-old actor Gene Hackman. He died of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease a full week after a rare, rodent-borne disease took the life of his wife at their Santa Fe home. Authorities revealed Friday that Hackman apparently died following Betsy Arakawa’s death from hantavirus. Chief medical investigator Dr. Heather Jarrell says both deaths were ruled to be from natural causes. Authorities initially ruled out foul play after the bodies were discovered Feb 26. Hantavirus is a rare but potentially fatal disease spread by infected rodent droppings.
