Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa's Deaths Leave Estate and Timeline Questions

The actor and his wife died of natural causes weeks apart, with unresolved legal and investigative matters surrounding their estate and deaths.

Gene Hackman, 95, died of heart disease with Alzheimer's as a contributing factor, while his wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, died a week earlier from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
Authorities are still piecing together the timeline of events, including analyzing cell phone and financial records to finalize the investigation.
Hackman's $80 million estate, left entirely to Arakawa in a 2005 will, may face legal challenges from his children, who were not named as beneficiaries.
One of the couple's dogs, Zinna, died from dehydration and starvation, likely after being confined to a crate post-surgery; their two other dogs survived.
Investigators have ruled out foul play and carbon monoxide poisoning but are awaiting toxicology results to close the case.
