Gene Hackman Death Case Body Cam Video, Daughter Says Cremate Dog, Bury With Wife
Gene Hackman Death Case
Police Body Cam Video Released …
Bury The Dog With Betsy
Published
Gene Hackman‘s daughter told the sheriffs who found her father dead in his home to cremate his dead dog and bury its remains with that of his wife Betsy Arakawa … according to newly released police body cam video .
The footage — released Friday by the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office — features a phone call between a deputy and Gene’s daughter Elizabeth.
She tells police to cremate the dog at the county’s animal shelter and bury the remains with Betsy. Elizabeth also tells police to kindly save the dog’s collar.
In another clip, deputies speak with a groundskeeper at Gene and Betsy’s New Mexico compound and he gets emotional realizing he won’t see them again.
As we reported … Officials in Santa Fe County, New Mexico have already concluded Betsy likely died about a week before Hackman is thought to have died — due to hantavirus, a rare disease that can be fatal.

Authorities made it clear Hackman had advanced Alzheimer’s … and, it’s unclear if he even realized Betsy had passed away before he died from cardiovascular disease.
As you know … Gene and Betsy’s deaths were labeled “suspicious” in an application for a search warrant — and investigators recovered health records, medication, and cell phones from the scene.

The two were found dead in separate rooms of their mansion … and, one of their three dogs — which was crated after a vet appointment — died as well.
In the footage, the deputy tells Gene’s daughter the other two dogs were found alive and were being rehomed with family.
Hackman was 95 … Arakawa was 65.
RIP

If St. John’s Wins Title …
Rick Pitino’s The G.O.A.T.!!!

If St. John’s cuts down the nets in San Antonio next month, call Rick Pitino the GOAT … ’cause Dan Dakich says a title win for the Red Storm this year would make their head coach the best ever.
Dakich didn’t mince words during his sitdown with TMZ Sports this week … proclaiming if Pitino becomes a three-time champion with three separate programs, he would immediately vault to the top of the all-time greats list.
“Three different schools, three banners?” Dakich said. “Greatest coach in the history of college basketball.”
Pitino, of course, won his first natty back in 1996 — when he led Kentucky to a victory over Syracuse. In 2013, he won his second ‘ship, when he helped lift Louisville over Michigan.
He’s the only coach to ever win it all at two different schools … and Dakich made it clear if he adds another ring at St. John’s — Mike Krzyzewski and John Wooden need to clear some room at the top.
Pitino has his work cut out for him to make it happen … St. John’s has a very difficult matchup coming up with John Calipari and Arkansas on Saturday. If it wins that, a potential tilt with No. 1-seeded Florida is on the horizon too.
But, if he can get it all done and hoist the trophy at the end of the most famous tournament in sports this year … Dakich says someone needs to get him a crown ASAP.
