A day after the likely date of death, the phone of Hackman's wife, Betsy Arakawa, rang the emergency medical service
An examination of Hackman's wife, Betsy Arakawa, revealed previously unknown calls.
UNN reports with a link to BBC and DW.
The wife of legendary American actor Gene Hackman died a day later than previously thought. An examination of Arakawa's mobile phone revealed that the wife of the two-time Oscar winner called the doctor on February 12, i.e. the day after the date that the forensic expert indicated as the likely time of death.
She described some congestion, but did not mention difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, or chest pain
Initially, the woman made an appointment with the doctor for February 12, but canceled it on the 10th, explaining that she needed to take care of her husband. However, on the morning of the 12th, she again sought help, but since it was not her usual clinic and no doctor had ever seen her, she was told to come for an appointment in the afternoon.
She didn't come. Our office called back several times, but received no response
