Ilmeisesti epäilevät Arakawan kuolleen 11.2 koska sen jälkeen hän ei enää avannut sähköpostejaan ja kaikki muukin kommunikaatio loppui tuona päivänä.
"Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza shared in a press conference Friday that Arakawa went to the veterinarian’s office to pick up Zinna on Feb. 9 — a detail which seemingly explains why authorities discovered the canine’s body in a crate.
On Feb. 11, the classical pianist had a conversation with a massage therapist before going to a farmer’s market for approximately 45 minutes.
She then stopped at a CVS Pharmacy, which was captured via a surveillance camera, and later headed to a local pet food store. Arakawa’s car was seen on video shortly later as she returned to her home, using her clicker to gain access to the property.
Investigators discovered that she had numerous unopened emails on her computer since that day. While police are waiting on information from her cellphone use, it appears Arakawa’s last known communication took place on Feb. 11."

Hantaviruksen aiheuttama HPS (Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome) vaikuttaa olevan siitä pirullinen, että voit pitkään kärsiä ainoastaan flunssan tapaisista oireista, loppuvaiheessa keuhkot yhtäkkiä täyttyvät nesteestä.
What to know about hantavirus, the disease that killed Betsy Arakawa
Arakawa, 65, died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS).
The virus that killed Betsy Arakawa, the wife of Gene Hackman, is a relatively rare but devastating threat without a vaccine, treatment or cure.
“It’s a horrible disease,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, a retired public health officer in Seattle who helped characterize the first known outbreak of the disease in the U.S. in 1993. “It’s not uniformly fatal and it’s not always severe, but the fatality rate is still thought to be up to 40%, which is really high.”
What are the symptoms?
In the U.S., when a person is infected, the virus often causes fatigue, fever and muscle aches, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some people dealing with the infection, called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), can have headaches, dizziness, chills and stomach problems.
“Initially, there’s nothing specific that would tell you you have hantavirus. You could think you have Covid or influenza, or just a really bad community acquired infection,” Duchin said.
Dr. Scott Roberts, an assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine, said symptoms can take up to eight weeks to present after an exposure. “It’s very possible this is missed,” he said.
In the most severe cases, hantaviruses can progress to the lungs and cause a dangerous respiratory disease. Symptoms include coughing, shortness of breath and fluid in the lungs.
“The fatal, rapidly progressive pulmonary illness can come on very quickly, in hours. That, itself, can become fatal on a very short timeline,” Duchin said.
In its late stages, he added, the illness causes a “drop in blood pressure — leaky blood vessels — and that causes fluid to seep into the lungs and tissues and makes it very difficult to get oxygen and lowers the blood pressure, which is usually the cause of death and severe illness.”
