A state evaluation found rodents in the extensive Santa Fe, New Mexico, owned by Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, but concluded that its main rooms had not been infested.
The inspection followed the deaths in February of Hackman, 95, of hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and Arakawa, 65, of the Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which spreads humans only by contact with rodents or their urine and drops.
State doctors said Alzheimer’s disease contributed to Hackman’s death on February 18. Arakawa probably died on February 12.
The “Environmental Evaluation of the Tribute” of the State Health Department, based on a sweep of the Home of March 5, was obtained through the State Public Registry Inspection Law.
Among the treasure of the documents and the video of the body of the body, the authorities of Santa Fe published on Tuesday is an email of February 11 of Arakawa to his masseuse to cancel an appointment because Hackman was sick.
Arakawa wrote in the email that Hackman “woke up today with flu/cold symptoms, did a covid, negative test. But as a precaution, he should cancel.”
The researchers noticed in their reports that Arakawa made a trip to a grocery store and a local pet food store the same day, which may have been the last time they saw her alive in public.
The detectives reported having seen a security video of both visits to confirm their departure. The owner of the pet food store confirmed to the researchers that Arakawa was there on February 11 and that he went to the store once or twice a week to meet a strict diet for his dogs that included “rabbit cooked gently”, according to the documents published on Tuesday.
The adult daughters of Hackman, Elizabeth and Leslie Hackman, told the researchers that their father was in Decline. They said that on January 30, 2024, they had to remind him three times that it was their birthday, according to the documents.
The two also said that Hackman was not so familiar with the contemporary technology that he used only fixations for telephone calls and avoided cell phones.
The daughters said that the couple was very private and that it did not hire housewives, although the Sheriff agents reported that the main residence was ordered.
The daughters said they had not seen rodents in the house, but that they had seen mice traps. State Health Inspectors also noticed the presence of rodent traps in their March 5 inspection of the Hackman and Arakawa residence.
The inspectors found live rodents, dead rodents and rodent feces in a separate garage and rodent feces in the two houses of property of the property and in their separate storage facilities, according to the state report on the inspection.
They also found a nest of rodents, a living rodent and a dead rodent between vehicles that work, abandoned vehicles or agricultural machinery on the property, according to the report.
The author of the Elizabeth Vinhatton report, of the State Health Department, wrote that the three property garages and their two houses had signs of rodent activity and that their sheds were accessible to rodents.
She also wrote: “The main house of the house without signs of rodent activity.”
Vinhatton estimated that the size of the main house is 8,000 to 9,000 square feet. A Redfin list for the address says that the four -bedroom house has 8,761 square feet of size and is in a 6 -acre package.
The main residence is where the video of the body of the agents of the office of the Sheriff of the County of Santa Fe captured the scene upon arrival, with the bodies of Hackman and Arakawa Borrosos.
The video shows one of the three dogs of the couple, described by the deputies as a German shepherd, who stays close to Arakawa’s body.
“I also watched a German dog with a German brown color sitting approximately five feet away from the deceased woman,” Deputy Jl Thomas wrote in an incident report.
Near, another dog was found dead in a dog box.
In a necropsy report it was made public as part of the publication of documents and videos on Tuesday, veterinary pathologist John Ragsdale concluded that if the dog was confined in the middle of the death of Hackman and Arakawa, whose bodies were discovered on February 26, approximately eight days of Hackman died due to lack of food and water.
According to the Sheriff’s incident report, another of the couple’s dogs released and had to be attracted and trapped on the day the bodies were found, according to the Sheriff’s incident report.
He says that Hackman’s family granted permission for a friend to take possession of the two surviving dogs.
The couple’s bodies were discovered when a contract worker worried about Arakawa’s unusual silence went to the house and asked a security worker to help him look. The maintenance worker soon discovered the body of Arakawa, and the security worker saw that of Hackman, according to Thomas’s story, the deputy.
