Also a week after the corpses of Gene Hackman, Betsy Arakawa and one of her three dogs were found, there is ambiguity about the cause of death. What is certain is that there is no violence. No death from carbon monoxide poisoning either. The theories range from disturbances in the pacemaker of the 95-year-old Hackman, until, actually, suddenly broken heart.
It is the time of wild speculation. Also because there are two living things in the five -member household by Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa who survived. Two of their dogs. Apparently the two four -legged friends survived because they could leave the house through a dog flap. They were able to get food and water outdoors.
Initially there was confusion in the assignment of the dogs. The animal found a few meters next to the lifeless Betsy Arakawa was initially described as a “brown shepherd”. For this reason, it was said that the dead dog was Bear, the German German Shepherd of the Hackman/Arakawa couple.
The surviving dogs know the shelter
That was not correct. The deceased animal was Zinna, a twelve-year-old mix of Kelpie with reddish fur. It is unclear why Zinna was found in a closed box.
The surviving dogs know the shelter. The German German Shepherd “Bear” and the 7-year-old Akita Schäferhund-Mischling had previously been handed over by Gene Hackman when he and Arakawa traveled. Zinna had even been adopted from this animal shelter by Arakawa.
