Fresh riddle over death of Gene Hackman’s wife Betsy as cops admit she DID call doctor 24hrs after officers say she died

COPS have confirmed Gene Hackman’s wife Betsy Arakawa was still alive a full 24 hours after authorities initially believed she had died.

Preliminary cell phone records show that Betsy made multiple calls to a Santa Fe medical center on February 12, 24 hours after she was believed to have passed away on February 11.

The new revelations by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Department challenges previous reports and adds a layer of mystery to the already puzzling timeline.

“We can now confirm that Mrs. Hackman’s phone was utilized on the morning of February 12 to call a medical center in Santa Fe, Cloudberry Health,” authorities told Fox News Digital.

“A total of three calls were made that morning, all to the medical center.

“One incoming call was made to Mrs. Hackman from the same medical center that afternoon.

“That appeared as a missed call on Mrs. Hackman’s cell phone.”

The revelation confirms a claim made by Dr. Josiah Child, a former emergency care specialist who runs Cloudberry Health.

Dr. Child, who had spoken to Betsy a few weeks prior to her death, previously said that Betsy had made an appointment for February 12, a day after her supposed death.

“She made an appointment for herself for February 12. It was for something unrelated to anything respiratory,” Dr. Child explained.

He also noted that Betsy had canceled the appointment just days earlier, citing her husband’s declining health.
