New Details Emerge in Gene Hackman Case
The tragic deaths of Gene Hackman and wife, Betsy, bring more confusion as a doctor comes forward who spoke with Betsy after death date
With any tragedy, questions are expected. With the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy, thereâs been the added confusion of not only how they died but when. Since the couple was already found in a partially mummified state, the logical answer is that they had been dead for a while. But after the Chief Medical Investigator Dr. Heather Jarrell said at a press conference that it was âreasonable to concludeâ that Arakawa died February 11, her doctor has come forward to say that he spoke with her on February 12.
On March 16, Dr. Josiah Child told Daily Mail that Betsy had an appointment to see him on February 10th at his clinic, Cloudberry Heath, but she had to cancel because her husband, Gene, was sick. âSheâd called me a couple of weeks before her death to ask about getting an echocardiogram [heart scan] for her husband,â Child said. âShe was not a patient of mine, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry to her.â
Two days after canceling, Betsy called Cloudberry Health again, and one of the doctors convinced her to come in that afternoon. But according to Child, she wasnât coming in for anything respiratory.
âWe made her an appointment, but she never showed up. She did not show any symptoms of respiratory distress. The appointment wasnât for anything related to the hantavirus. We tried calling her a couple of times with no reply.â
