Betsy Arakawa died in February of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.

Investigators have discovered that Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman's home had become a "breeding ground" for rats which contributed to both his wife's death and his own.

Just over two months after actor Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead at their New Mexico home, more details are coming in.

A report has found that Hackman’s house was surrounded by rat nests and droppings, after it was revealed his wife Betsy Arakawa died from the rodent-borne hantavirus.

According to a report by the New Mexico Department of Public Health obtained by TMZ, droppings and nests were discovered in eight detached outbuildings on the couple’s $4 million New Mexico estate.

A week after Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy's bodies were found, the New Mexico Department of Public Health investigated the property and found rodent feces in three garages.
