Something wrong with speculating? At least he contributes unlike yourself who scours this forum looking for things to troll with useless, repetitive insults Confused When you are not crying to the mods.

 So?

 They were married for a good few years and the daughter had her own life in California.

 She said she spoke to her father recently.

 All sounds reasonable to me. 

 He only had the two wives...both lasted a long time...which is better than most others in Hollywood. 

 There was never any real scandal surrounding him, either. 

 I believe he was a good pianist...which is probably what he had in common with his younger wife.

 My theory is that Hackman dropped dead from a heart attack...hence the sunglasses on the floor next to his body...then the wife decided life was not worth living without him, so she killed the only dog she could catch, but then was too distraught to chase the others. Took an overdose and ended her own life, knocking down the heater as she fell.

 It all ties in.

 He was dead.  They were reclusive. Why call the paras?

 As for the dog...she might have thought it would die anyway...or eat them if left to starve.

This is what really happened..

The missus went to throw the tablets to Gene, but slipped over as the dog was under her feet and the pills went everywhere, as she lands half a dozen pills land in her mouth, she then lands on the dog killing it instantly.  She dies from the pills lodging in her throat and she chokes to death. Gene can't believe what he has just seen, thinks its going to be impossible trying to explain it to the police, has a heart attack and dies.

 So...who put the dog in the closet?

 Sorry, Fiddles, but my theory makes more sense.

Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead, along with their pet dog, at their home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, last month sparking intense online speculation about the cause of death.

On the weekend, New Mexico’s chief medical examiner, Dr Heather Jerrell, announced that Hackman, who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s disease, died from hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease – a combination of high blood pressure and a buildup of plaque in the arteries.

Arakawa, however, died around a week before her husband from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome – an infection transmitted to humans from rodent faeces, urine and saliva.

It’s unknown how Arakawa contracted hantavirus. Usually, (farmers and forestry workers) are most at risk of exposure to infected rodents.

There are at least 38 recognised species of hantavirus across the world, 24 of which cause disease in humans. It’s considered a rare virus but it’s also likely to be underdiagnosed in many areas of the world because the initial symptoms can be mistaken for cold and flu-like viral infections.

They are never big on historical accuracy in movies. Fiddles script is still in with a shot. I think it's better than the facts.Tongue

Gene Hackman’s dog’s heartbreaking cause of death revealed | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site

Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa’s dog Zinna — found dead alongside the couple in February – likely died of starvation and dehydration, according to an autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press.

The report, which came from the state Department of Agriculture’s veterinary lab, said the partial mummification of the dog could have obscured changed in organs, but there was no evidence of poisoning, disease or trauma that could have led to death.

Inside the dog’s stomach was very little aside from small amounts of hair and bile.

Legal documents obtained by the BBC show Hackman, 95, named Arakawa as his sole beneficiary in 1995, with the last update to the will in 2005. The two-time Academy Award winner left a fortune of $US80 million ($126 million).


Arakawa’s own will left her assets to Hackman, with a provision that if they died within 90 days of each other, her estate would go to a trust and later be donated to charity.

However, according to the BBC, Hackman’s children will still potentially inherit his fortune despite not being named in the will. Attorney Julia Peters has been appointed as the executor of both wills and, on March 7, notice of her appointment as Hackman’s personal representative was mailed out to his three children.

A week later, on March 13, Peters filed documents to the Santa Fe probate court, stating that the Oscar winner’s will identifies the three as his heirs.

This means that though they were not directly named in the will, given the unique circumstances of their father’s passing, Hackman’s children will likely be the beneficiary of his estate.

Where there's a will there's a relative.
