Zinna died with an empty stomach

New details were released about the death of a Gene Hackman and the dogs of Ms. Betsy Arakawa, whose body could be found in Santa Fe at the end of February together with the deceased couple.

The dog Zinfandel (nickname Zinna) probably died of dehydration and hunger, as can be seen from a necropic report, which was preserved on Friday by Associated Press and ABC News. The AP quotes the veterinary diagnosis of the New Mexico Department of Agriculture as a source of the report, while ABC News receives the Santa Fe Animal Control report.

USA Today has contacted the Department of Agriculture and the Santa Fe Animal Control to get more information.

The 12-year-old Australian Kelpie-Mix stomach was largely empty, with the exception of “small quantities of hair and bile”, reported the news agencies. The report also said that there was no evidence of infectious diseases, trauma or poisoning according to AP and ABC messages.

A date of the dog's death was not reported, but Outlet said that the autopsy showed “partially mummification” and “severe decomposition”.

Why was the dog of the Hackmans in a box?

On February 26, the deputies and paramedics of the sheriff discovered after the maintenance workers Arakawa discovered on their bathroom floor and called 911, tin in one box. The other two dogs of the couple, Nikita and Bear, were found that roam the property, and both the front door and a back door were Ajar.

Robert Gruda, the owner of the Gruda Veterinary Hospital, recently said USA Today that the staff of the Arakawa hospital had told that he should limit Zinna to a box to prevent them after a “big operation” in January. “She was an excellent dog owner, excellent caretaker for these dogs,” he said. “She really geared her.”

Near Zinna, Arakawa's body showed a decomposition, and the investigators estimated that she died on February 11th. The Oscar award winner was found in a mutroom with a stick and sunglasses nearby.

According to the Sheriff's Office of the Santa Fe County, the 65 -year -old Arakawa died of a Hantavirus syndrome, a rare disease that is made by contact with mouse droppings. According to the CDC, Hantaviruses are “mainly distributed by rodents and not distributed from person to person”. And Hackman, 95, had heart diseases and complications caused by Alzheimer's disease and died of natural causes.

The investigators theorized that Hackman, as soon as Arakawa died, could no longer take care of himself or the dogs. He probably didn't know that his wife had died, said officials and quoted his Alzheimer disease.

Hackman was assumed that he had died about a week after his wife. According to Dr. Heather Jarrell, New Mexicos Chief Medical Examiner, was Hackman last the activity of the pacemaker on February 18. Hackman was very bad.

The investigators were unclear how Hackman spent his last days. Jarrell said the autopsy showed that Hackman has not eaten lately, but that he did not suffer from dehydration.
