Santa Fe Authorities Confirm Gene Hackman's Cause of Death as Heart Disease and Alzheimer's
Gene Hackman, 95, passed away from heart disease with advanced Alzheimer's as a contributing factor, while his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, died a week earlier from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Authorities believe Hackman, due to his Alzheimer's, was likely unaware of her passing and may have struggled in his final days without her.
