So, how are you supposed to get rid of mice droppings if sweeping and vacuuming is not a good idea? What should have been done? Serious question.

Interesting speculation on the inheritance. It's extremely likely that they both had estate planning documents in place, which may or may not have included his kids at all. I'm an estate planning attorney and people might be surprised by how many folks intentionally do not leave any inheritance to their children. The fact that she died first would not negate whatever terms he had in place for estate planning.

Hackman was married to his first wife, Faye Maltese, from 1956 to 1986. The couple welcomed three children: son Christopher and daughters Elizabeth and Leslie. Five years after his split with Maltese, who died in 2017, Hackman wed Arakawa.

Why aren’t there more discussions about the fact their marriage was interracial?

Why would there be?

Ever heard of an N95 mask? They work for hantavirus, too.

You're supposed to wet them down with a diluted bleach solution so dust isn't created, and then wipe them up.

But again (assuming you're in the DC area) very, very unlikely to be an issue around here.

Interesting point. But here is the deal. I know a lot of interracial marriages like this. But somehow, the Asian/white thing is a bit diluted in terms of being called “interracial.” Infact, one husband who was married to an Asian lady flat out said that Asians were now viewed as white a lot more, so it’s no big deal.

Those were his words, not mine. And I have found that whoever is more dominant in the relationship is usually the culture that’s most expressed. I know a lot of mixed couples like this. In most cases, they usually express the white race or other race (yep, black and Asian friends also) over the Asian race.

Not sure why, but that’s what I see.

He loved this particular lady who happened to be Asian.

I guess for me, they were happy and that’s all that counts. 40 years, so he had to have loved her and vice versa.

She was born and raised in Hawaii. I can't find much on her family of origin.

What’s to discuss? I don’t understand.

I read the house was not the likely source of the hantavirus. That it was likely one of the outbuildings, like a shed or something.

Right, this was discussed many pages ago. That's why it's so odd that this person is obsessed with asserting that the house was the source of the infection.

The other person just doesn't agree with you. It is not odd or confusing or confounding or bewildering or strange or any other adjective thrown out. They can continue to post their thoughts as often as they want.

This may have been covered but if both had been dead for over a week then the smell of decaying flesh would have been overwhelming.

Actually, in this thread which has been littered with a lot of bad takes, I think we’ve managed to avoid this speculation which has no bearing whatsoever on anything worth discussing and is just disrespectful and indecent.

Does she have kids?
