The mysterious deaths of Hollywood legend Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, have taken an unexpected turn as investigators uncover crucial cell phone records.

According to Daily Mail, police have revealed that Arakawa made multiple phone calls to a health clinic on February 12, a day after she was initially believed to have died from hantavirus.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office obtained cell phone data showing Arakawa contacted Cloudberry Health, a local concierge medical practice, three times on February 12. The clinic also attempted to reach her with a fourth call that same day, but she never received the medical care she sought.

Medical timeline raises questions about deaths

Dr. Josiah Child, who runs Cloudberry Health, confirmed that Arakawa had contacted their clinic seeking medical advice. He stated that she described having congestion but did not mention any respiratory distress or chest pain during the calls.

The 65-year-old Arakawa was previously thought to have died on February 11 from hantavirus, a rare respiratory disease transmitted through rat or mouse feces. However, garage clicker data shows she was active that day, visiting various establishments, including a grocery store, pharmacy, and pet store, before returning home around 5:15 PM.

Medical professionals have expressed skepticism about the hantavirus diagnosis, noting that deaths from the disease typically occur in hospital settings after symptoms worsen over several days.

Questions surround the final days of Hollywood couple

The bodies of Arakawa and Hackman were discovered in different areas of their isolated Santa Fe home. Arakawa was found on the bathroom floor surrounded by pills, while Hackman was located in a utility room approximately 20 feet away.

Dr. Child shared his conversation with Arakawa from the weeks before her death. He stated:

Mrs Hackman didn't die on February 11 because she called my clinic on February 12. She'd called me a couple of weeks before her death to ask about getting an echocardiogram for her husband. She was not a patient of mine, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry to her.

An LA-based doctor commented on the unusual circumstances, noting:

Medical professionals are all scratching their heads over hantavirus as the cause of death. Respiratory failure is not sudden – it is something that worsens over several days. Most people get admitted to the ER because they are having trouble breathing. It's exceedingly rare for a seemingly healthy 65-year-old to drop dead of it. In fact, no one's heard of such a thing.

Investigation continues as details emerge

Hackman's pacemaker indicated he died on February 18, a week after his wife's supposed death. The post-mortem examination revealed no food in his stomach, suggesting his Alzheimer's condition may have prevented him from realizing his wife had died.

The tragedy was compounded by the death of one of their three dogs, which was found deceased in its crate where it had been recovering from surgery. The animal died from starvation and dehydration. Questions also remain about the distribution of Hackman's $80 million fortune. While the actor had three children, his estate was reportedly secured in a private trust.

Looking ahead as investigation unfolds

The deaths of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa have captured public attention as new evidence continues to emerge. Cell phone records and medical testimony have cast doubt on the initial timeline of Arakawa's death from hantavirus on February 11.

As investigators work to piece together the couple's final days, medical experts continue to question the circumstances surrounding Arakawa's death, particularly the unusual hantavirus diagnosis. The case remains active as authorities examine evidence, including phone records, medical documentation, and witness accounts, to determine what truly happened at the couple's Santa Fe residence.
