Gene Hackman's secret burial and unmarked grave where only a cryptic tribute lies... all orchestrated by children he cut from $80m will
Hackman and and his wife Betsy Arakawa were both found dead and partially mummified in their ranch on Feb. 26. They had died a week apart.
After autopsy investigations - showing Arakawa had died of a hantavirus infection, before Hackman succumbed to heart disease and advanced Alzheimer's a week later - they were finally buried last month in the Santa Fe Memorial Gardens with no public acknowledgement. In footage obtained by the Daily Mail in March, Hackman's eldest daughter Elizabeth can be heard speaking on the phone to police at the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office about what should be done with Zinna's body. Authorities determined that Arakawa died from respiratory symptoms caused by the rare but deadly virus hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, which is passed on through rodent urine, saliva and feces.
