Gene Hackman Died of Heart Disease and Alzheimer’s a Week After Betsy Arakawa; Wife’s Cause of Death Determined to Be Hantavirus



At a news conference on Friday, Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza said that surveillance cameras showed that Arakawa did errands on Feb. 11, visiting Sprouts market and a CVS pharmacy. She also corresponded with a massage therapist by email that day.

Her car entered the gated subdivision where the couple lived around 5:15 p.m. No activity or communications were found after that date.

Erin Phipps, the state public health veterinarian, said at the press conference that hantavirus infections are very rare. She said that out of 136 infections in the state over the last 50 years, 42% were fatal. The virus is typically transmitted through rodent excrement.

Phipps said there were signs of rodent entry in some of the buildings on the property, though the risk in the main house was “low.”


According to a search warrant affidavit, Arakawa was found dead on the bathroom floor. Pills were scattered on the countertop. At the press conference, Jarrell said the pills are thyroid medication that was being taken as prescribed.
