Gene Hackman and his wife, Besty Arakawa, were buried after a small private monument.
The couple, who were found dead at their home in New Mexico on February 26, was recently remembered by their family and close friends in a monument held in Santa Fe, according to people.
The three children of the actor of the “French connection”, the 65 -year -old son Christopher, and the 63 -year -old Elizabeth daughters, and Leslie, 58, whom he welcomed with his first wife, Faye Maltese, attended the services.
In February, Hackman and Arakawa’s bodies found themselves at their home of $ 4 million. Zinna” One of the three dogs of the couple also died in their box, probably dying of starvation and dehydration.
The actor and his wife 95 and 65 were respectively.
The couple’s living dogs helped lifeguards find Hackman’s body after registering their home for more than 30 minutes.
While the paramedics continued to search the house of 10000 square feet, one of the couple’s dogs kept running towards them, barking and running in a different direction.
Once they followed the animal, it led to the mud bath, where the body of the star “Mississippi Burning” was lying on the floor along with its sunglasses and cane.
An autopsy confirmed that Arakawa died almost a week before her husband after she contracted a strange rodent -transmitted virus called Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).
The cause of the death of the Oscar winner was listed as hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with “evidence of advanced Alzheimer’s disease” as a significant contributory factor.
Medical professionals believe that Hackman may not have known that his wife was dead due to Alzheimer’s disease.
TMZ reported this week that the couple’s house was a “culture broth for infestation” before his death.
Rodents, excrements and nests dead in eight buildings of the couple’s abode were discovered when the New Mexico Public Health Department carried out an environmental assessment in March.
