R.I.P Gene and family. ❤️

His wife was a classical pianist age 63

Police say no sign of foul play.

RIP Gene.

Thought it was a little odd that he, his wife AND their dog have passed...

Hantavirus (can be contracted from infected dried mouse urine or mouse faeces: in New Mexico, deer mice are common carriers of the virus) is likely to be what caused the death of Betsy Hackman after about 6 days of flu-like symptoms, terminating in shortness of breath, and death, on 11-Feb-2025. This was followed about a week later by the death of Gene Hackman through complications from a poor heart and heart disease and Alzheimer's.

Update being given on Sky News at this time, sounds like a very unfortunate series of events. Sad news.

How terrible that Gene Hackman was probably unaware his wife was dead at least a week before he died. 😢

Absolutely astounding.

I quite liked Gene Hackman's style of acting.

Thanks for the information on Hantavirus @pgn
