Gene Hackman’s wife searched online for flu symptoms in days before she died
Betsy Arakawa, the wife of actor Gene Hackman, searched the internet for information about flu and Covid symptoms and breathing techniques in the days before she died, police records have revealed.
Arakawa asked Google questions including whether Covid could cause dizziness or nosebleeds, according to files released by the Santa Fe Sheriff and reported by the Associated Press and New York Times.
The 65-year-old pianist died of hantavirus, which can cause flu-like symptoms and develop into a life-threatening lung condition.
Authorities believe she died around 12 February, and her husband, 95, who had Alzheimer’s disease, died on 18 February. Their bodies were found on 26 February.
The Sheriff files include details of the police investigation along with photos of the couple’s cluttered house in New Mexico, and bodycam footage.
