Reaction of Autopsy Results of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa

New Mexico authorities finally figured out what happened to Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa. 

She died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome... a disease with no cure or treatment, and has about a 40% fatality rate. It manifests as flu-like symptoms, then you basically lost the ability to breathe, as your lung starts to fill with fluid (pulmonary edema) and basically... can't get more oxygen in, which causes strain on your heart, and you... die. 

Gene Hackman, in his 90s and suffering from dementia and Alzheimers, did not realize his wife died until a week later, then he had an heart attack. 

And neither was found for days, until a worker became concerned enough to call for authorities for a welfare check. 

What a... sad end to one of the most famous actors of Hollywood... 

Experts say it often takes 2-3 weeks for the symptoms of HPS to manifest, and it does start with flu-like symptoms, and can take a sudden downturn. It is also surprising that neither have any staff or regular visitors. 

Guess money isn't everything...     

WTF: Texas Congresswomen Who Vanished for Months was Found in Care Home

Texas Congresswoman Kay Granger, who represents Texas Congressional District 12 (which includes where I used to live) was last seen in Congress in July 2024. Her office in DFW area was already emptied out, and all attempt to contact her went to a recorded message. The Dallas Express has finally located her in a "care home" after a tip-off. The staff at the care home refused to admit the reporters for an interview. The staff did confirm the congresswoman is residing there. 

The tipster claimed the congresswoman was found confused and wandering in her former neighborhood and was relocated to the care home. After the news had broke, Congresswoman's son FINALLY contacted the newspapers to confirm the news, but denied she's in a memory care unit. However, the facility does offer that option. A statement purportedly from the congresswoman was released. 

The congresswoman and her staff remains on taxpayer payroll until January 3, 2025, when the congressperson-elect takes office. If you do the math, that means for the past 5 months, District 12 went unrepresented in Congress. 

Which brings up an interesting question... Why did my former residence, Fort Worth, never noticed? No political figure, no news organization, nobody? Or did they decided to keep quiet, and let Dallas take the scoop?
