💨 Abstract

Gene Hackman, the 95-year-old actor, died due to heart disease, but also had Alzheimer's and likely fasted for a long time. His wife, Betsy Arakawa, is suspected to have died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Hackman's pacemaker showed an abnormal heart rhythm on the day he likely died, and a toxicology report found low acetone levels indicating prolonged fasting.
