Al Green explains why he did what he did during the Orange Idiot's SOTU speech of Tuesday night, which I fortunately missed:
_______________________________
Gene Hackman's wife had already died of hantavirus when a few days later he died of a heart attack.. He suffered from severe Alzheimer's disease, so he most likely never knew his wife was already dead, not to mention one of their dogs.
Arakawa likely died first, with Feb. 11 being the last time that she was known to be alive, Jarrell said. People with hantavirus infections can initially feel flu-like symptoms for roughly three to six days and then start to have fluid in and around their lungs.
"At that point, a person can die very quickly, within 24-48 hours, roughly speaking, without medical treatment," Jarrell said. "It's not uncommon to find someone down on the floor as part of a terminal collapse, so to speak, and that may very well have been what happened."
Asked if Hackman was aware of his wife's passing, Jarrell said: "That question's difficult to answer, but I can tell you that he was in an advanced state of Alzheimer's and it's quite possible that he was not aware that she was deceased."
