发现啮齿动物活动的迹象吉恩·海克曼在新墨西哥的财产据报道，这位演员的妻子荒川贝特西死于一种通过啮齿动物传播的罕见疾病。
荒川，65岁，于2006年2月在圣达菲的家中去世汉坦病毒肺综合征官员说，这是一种通过啮齿动物的尿液、粪便或唾液传播的疾病。
根据新墨西哥州卫生部homesite环境报告，在他们的附属车库、独立车库、两个小屋和一个储存棚中发现了死亡啮齿动物和啮齿动物粪便的迹象。报道称，在一个独立的车库里发现了一个老鼠窝。
报道称，在一辆车上，官员们发现了一只活的啮齿动物、啮齿动物的粪便和一个巢穴。
报道称，现场陷阱已在该住宅周围设置。
报告指出，主屋很干净，没有啮齿动物活动的迹象。
在2月26日的福利检查中，95岁的哈克曼和荒川的尸体在他们的房子里被发现，一周后检查就完成了。
起初，当局不知道他们的死因。
官方后来宣布哈克曼死于心血管疾病和阿尔茨海默病。官员们说，他可能在2月18日左右去世，大约是荒川在2月12日左右死于HPS的一周后。
汉坦病毒肺综合征根据疾病控制和预防中心的说法，起初会导致类似流感的症状，后来会导致呼吸困难。
新墨西哥医学调查员办公室的首席医学调查员希瑟·贾雷尔博士告诉记者，那些在接触啮齿动物粪便后感染HPS病毒的人通常会感到不适，持续大约三到六天。
“然后他们可以过渡到肺部阶段，在那里他们的肺部和肺部周围有液体，”她说。“在这种情况下，一个人可能会在24到48小时内迅速死亡，粗略地说，没有药物治疗。”
圣达菲县治安官阿丹·门多萨在3月份的一次新闻发布会上说，哈克曼可能在去世前一周与他已故的妻子在家。
Signs of rodent activity found at Gene Hackman's property
Signs of rodent activity were found atGene Hackman's New Mexico propertyafter the actor's wife, Betsy Arakawa, died from a rare disease transmitted through rodents, according to a report.
Arakawa, 65, died at their Santa Fe home in February fromhantavirus pulmonary syndrome-- a disease spread through rodent urine, droppings or saliva, officials said.
Signs of dead rodents and rodent feces were discovered in their attached garage, detached garage, two casitas and a storage shed, according to a New Mexico Department of Health homesite environmental report. A rodent nest was found in a detached garage, the report said.
In a vehicle, officials found a live rodent, rodent feces and a nest, according to the report.
Live traps had been set out around the home, the report said.
The main house was clean with no signs of rodent activity, the report noted.
The inspection was completed one week after the bodies of Hackman, 95, and Arakawa were found inside their house during a Feb. 26 welfare check.
At first, authorities didn't know what caused their deaths.
Officials later announced that Hackmandied of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's disease.He likely died around Feb. 18, about one week after Arakawa died from HPS on about Feb. 12, officials said.
Hantavirus pulmonary syndromeat first causes flu-like symptoms and can later cause trouble breathing, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Those who contract HPS after being exposed to rodent excrement often feel ill for roughly three to six days, Dr. Heather Jarrell, chief medical investigator for New Mexico's Office of the Medical Investigator, told reporters.
"Then they can transition to that pulmonary phase, where they have fluid in their lungs and around their lungs," she said. "And at that point, a person can die very quickly, within 24 to 48 hours, roughly speaking, without medical treatment."
Hackman was likely home with his deceased wife for one week before he died, Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said at a press briefing in March.
