Celebrity Death: Gene Hackman 95

[StreetHawk]

Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa likely died 10 days before bodies found, sheriff says

US investigators are still trying to establish how Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy died.

His pacemaker last registered activity on Feb 17th. Also, according to his daughter, he did Pilates and yoga several times per week, so he may have been in better physical condition than assumed.

If that is the case, then it would explain why the reports are showing that he passed over a week before his body was discovered. If he was in good enough health that they didn't need help to come in a couple of times a week to help. Like no yogo/pilates instructor (maybe he just did his own routine or followed something online), no bathing help, etc.

Makes the passing of his wife very curious....

I'm thinking she died or had medical emergency first, then he fell and had nobody around leading to them both dying.

What I can not figure out is why it took 10 days to find them? According to many people in the area they were usually seen every other day

Hi not sure where to ask this but does anyone have a stream for the Oscar’s?

The dog was in a kennel so as much as a brutal way that is to go it's explained. Heart pills were found beside his wife. He was in the room beside the exit with the door unlocked, I'm betting that he came back from a walk, had a heart attack, his wife panics, goes to gets his meds, either falls and hits her head on the space heater or has her own medical event and passes away as well. Alternatively, she could have been having a medical event, went to grab her heart pills, collapses, he sees, goes to get help and has his own cardiac event (I'd say less likely as he's over 30 years older, even though by all accounts he was in good health for his age, still driving, biking etc).
