Hackman was found dead with Arakawa and his dog at his home in New Mexico on February 26, after neighborhood security personnel made a well -being verification. Arakawa was 63 years old, while Hackman was 95.
Although initially it was not suspected of anything illicit, their deaths were “Of nature, suspicious enough to require an exhaustive search and research”according to an affidavit of the registration order.
It had been speculated that the couple had died due to carbon monoxide poisoning due to a gas leak, but the authorities hastened to rule out that as a possible cause, and the Sheriff’s office of the Santa Fe County issued an update based on the “extensive investigation of the New Mexico Gas Company on gas leaks and carbon monoxide in the house of Gene Hackman”, carried out on the night of February 26.
On March 8, the researchers confirmed the cause of the death of Hackman and Arakawa, concluding that both died from natural causes, but with a week apart. It is said that Arakawa died because of the pulmonary syndrome by Hantavirus (SPH), a serious respiratory disease caused by exposure to infected rodents.
Hackman pacemaker data suggests that he died on February 18, a week after the proposed date for the death of Arakawa.

Today (March 17), Dr. Josiah Child, a former emergency care specialist who directs the Cloudberry Health clinic in Santa Fe, New Mexico, refutes the date and tells the Mailonline portal: “Mrs. Hackman did not die on February 11 because she called my clinic on February 12”.
She continued: “He called me a couple of weeks before his death to ask about the possibility of making him an echocardiogram (cardiac scanner) to her husband. She was not my patient, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry. She concerted an appointment for February 12”.
He said that Two days before seeing him, she canceled her appointment, claiming her husband’s poor health.
Dr. Child said: “He called again on the morning of February 12 and spoke with one of our doctors, who told him to come that afternoon. We scheduled an appointment, but never appeared. He did not present any symptom of respiratory difficulty. The appointment was not related to the Hantavirus. We tried to call it a couple of times, but we did not get an answer.”
