Did Gene Hackman’s Wife Betsy Arakawa Call Her Doctor 24 Hours AFTER Police Claimed Death Time? New Twist Explored

by

A fresh enigma has arisen concerning the demise of Gene Hackman’s spouse, Betsy Arakawa, following a disclosure by a medical professional that she contacted his practice a day subsequent to the police declaring her death.

The medical examiner from Santa Fe confirmed that Betsy Arakawa died due to hantavirus on February 11. However, Dr. Josiah Child of Cloudberry Health in Santa Fe stated that she contacted his office the following day, on February 12.

Dr. Child told The Daily Mail, “Mrs. Hackman didn’t die on February 11 because she called my clinic on February 12.” He added that she had previously reached out weeks earlier to inquire about an echocardiogram for her husband.

She later booked an appointment for herself on February 12, unrelated to any respiratory issues. However, she canceled two days before, saying Gene Hackman was unwell.

Despite canceling her original appointment, Arakawa reportedly called back on the morning of February 12 and spoke to one of Dr. Child’s colleagues, who advised her to visit the clinic that afternoon. However, according to Dr. Child, she never showed up for the appointment and did not exhibit any signs of respiratory distress.

The expert found out that Arakawa passed away due to Hantavirus, an uncommon lung infection contracted by breathing in dust contaminated with rodent urine and droppings.

However, Dr. Child was surprised that she had spoken to his office on February 10 and again on February 12 without showing any symptoms of respiratory issues, noting that most Hantavirus patients typically die in hospitals.

A physician based in Los Angeles expressed doubt about the cause of death, suggesting that healthcare professionals found the diagnosis perplexing.

The doctor stated that respiratory failure usually worsens over several days, and most patients seek emergency care due to breathing difficulties. They added that it was extremely rare for an otherwise healthy 65-year-old to suddenly die from the condition.
