It’s the anecdata experts that declare IT WAS IN THE HOUSE. Especially since some have insisted you have to be wallowing in it. Everyone who knows about the science of hantavirus understands it
could have been in the house, but it’s more likely that it was elsewhere. Some people are just sick of misinformation and projection.
Same thing for the family situation. You have people making absolute statements based on their personal experiences instead of taking the known facts about the Hackman family and drawing some conclusions from that.
Known facts about Gene Hackman are that he was 95, had advanced demebtia, and lay on the floor dead for at least a week and no family members came to check on him.
Gene gave interviews and was open that he was physically and emotionally absent as a dad although he loved his kids
His kids that have spoken have said only nice things about him and about Betsy
Betsy appears to have been an excellent caretaker and was appeared to have been in good health
All parties have led quiet lives out of the spotlight (Gene was in the limelight years ago, but for decades he’s been deliberately out of the radar)
Neighbors says Gene and Betsy were even more reclusive post pandemic
Gene had Alz. He was last publicly recorded in April 2024 running errands. He was showing good mobility including appropriately negotiating a curb
People are in here posting that the kids were monsters, but it’s more likely that they simply were not very close and maybe they got monthly updates from Betsy. If Gene had deteriorated quite a bit, keeping to a very regular routine would be important. Betsy may not have wanted calls.
The circumstances were tragic and unlikely. We will never know exactly what Gene was experiencing or what he was trying to do. The constant attacks on the various parties are just projection and unwarranted condemnation.
