Betsy Arakawa, famed actor Gene Hackman's wife and dedicated caretaker, made frantic efforts in the final days before her unexpected death to understand and alleviate her growing health concerns.
Arakawa, 65, died in February from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
Just days later, 95-year-old Hackman died, purportedly of heart disease exacerbated by Alzheimer's difficulties, according to the DailyMail.
According to sources, the Oscar-winning actor's worsening health may have prevented him from properly comprehending his wife's death.
In an unexpected turn of events, Arakawa resorted to the internet for answers and ordered oxygen canisters from Amazon on February 11, believing they were needed for immediate breathing assistance.
Inside their house, detectives discovered touching handwritten messages exchanged between the couple--a silent monument to their love and care for one another, even as their final days neared.
