Gene Hackman cause of death
As reported by the Daily Mail, autopsies revealed that Betsy died from Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome on February 11.
According to CDC: “Hantaviruses can infect and cause serious disease in people worldwide.”
“People get hantavirus from contact with rodents like rats and mice, especially when exposed to their urine, droppings, and saliva. It can also spread through a bite or scratch by a rodent, but this is rare.”
Gene, on the other hand, died around seven days later on February 18, before they were found in separate rooms on February 26.
