Mysterious deaths spark investigation
As authorities investigated the mysterious deaths of Hollywood actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, shocking details emerged following their autopsy. In a chilling revelation, reports indicated that the couple had been dead for over a week before their bodies were discovered. Data retrieved from Hackman’s pacemaker suggested that February 17 was the last day he was alive.
Key findings
Authorities seized several items from the couple’s home in New Mexico during their investigation. Among them were medical records from MyQuest, a diagnostic service, with a document labeled “2025 Monthly Planner.” The device recorded Hackman’s “last event” on February 17, according to officials at a news conference on February 28.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza commented on the findings, stating, “According to the pathologist, I think that is a very good assumption, that that was his last day of life.”
Unanswered questions about the cause of death
Hackman and Arakawa were found dead along with their pet dog on February 27. Authorities confirmed that their bodies had mummified, but the exact cause of death remains unknown.
Tests ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning as a factor, police confirmed on February 28. However, it is still unclear whether the couple passed away at the same time or separately.
Conspiracy theories emerge online
As the autopsy reports were made public and the investigation deepened, the internet became flooded with bizarre theories regarding the couple’s deaths.
One particularly outlandish claim suggested that Hackman was involved with a secret Santa Fe-based witchcraft cult called “The Healer.” The theory even briefly appeared on the actor’s Wikipedia page before being swiftly removed.
Authorities continue to investigate the case, leaving many questions about the couple’s tragic deaths unanswered.
