遺體的木乃伊化阻礙了對吉恩·哈克曼（Gene Hackman）和他的妻子貝蒂·阿拉庫瓦（Betsy Arakawa）死亡的調查

新墨西哥州農業部的獸醫實驗室表明，已經部分木乃伊化了動物的遺體

The state of New Mexico’s Department of Agriculture’s veterinary lab has revealed there had been partial mummification of the animal’s remains, and noted that while the severe decomposition could have obscured changes in the organs, there was no evidence of infectious disease, trauma or poisoning that could have resulted in death.

新墨西哥州農業部的獸醫實驗室表明，已經部分木乃伊化了動物的遺體，並指出，儘管嚴重的分解可能掩蓋了器官的變化，但沒有證據表明傳染病，創傷或中毒可能導致死亡。

The report, which was obtained by The Associated Press, adds that the dog’s stomach was mostly empty except for small amounts of hair and bile.

該報告是由美聯社獲得的，並補充說，除了少量的頭髮和膽汁外，狗的胃大多是空的。

The kelpie mix, named Zinna, was one of the couple’s three dogs. It was found dead in a crate in a bathroom cupboard near Betsy Arakawa’s body, while two other dogs survived.

Kelpie混合物（名為Zinna）是這對夫婦的三隻狗之一。它被發現死在貝蒂·阿拉川（Betsy Arakawa）屍體附近的浴室櫥櫃中的箱子裡，而另外兩隻狗倖存下來。

Authorities confirmed last week that Hackman died of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease about a week after a rare, rodent-borne disease – hantavirus pulmonary syndrome – took the life of his wife.

當局上週證實，哈克曼死於心髒病，死於阿爾茨海默氏病的並發症大約一周後，罕見的囓齒動物疾病 - 漢塔病毒肺綜合症 - 奪走了妻子的生平。

Hackman, who was in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s, was apparently unaware that his wife was dead. The screen legend was found in the home’s entryway, while Arakawa was found in a bathroom. Like the dog, their bodies were decomposing with some mummification, a consequence of body type and climate in Santa Fe’s especially dry air at an elevation of nearly 7,200ft.

位於阿爾茨海默氏症高級階段的哈克曼顯然沒有意識到他的妻子已經死了。屏幕傳奇是在房屋的入口處發現的，而Arakawa則在浴室中發現。像狗一樣，他們的身體因木乃伊化而分解，這是聖達菲特別乾燥空氣中的體型和氣候的結果，海拔近7,200英尺。

While both deaths were ruled to be from natural causes, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is finishing up the investigation by tying up the timeline with any information gleaned from the mobile phones collected at the home and the last contacts that were made.

雖然兩次死亡都來自自然原因，但聖達菲縣警長辦公室正在完成調查，並通過收集到家庭手機收集的任何信息以及進行的最後一個聯繫方式來完成調查。

“The case is considered active until we have that information to tie up the timeline,” said Denise Womack Avila, a spokesperson for the sheriff.

警長發言人丹尼斯·沃馬克·阿維拉（Denise Womack Avila）說：“該案被認為是活躍的，直到我們有這些信息來綁定時間表。”

Zinna went from being a returned shelter dog to an incredible companion that was always at Arakawa’s side, said Joey Padilla, owner of the Santa Fe Tails pet care facility that was involved in the surviving dogs’ care.

聖塔菲尾巴護理設施的所有者喬伊·帕迪拉（Joey Padilla）說，Zinna從成為一隻返回的庇護犬變成了一個令人難以置信的同伴，該狗總是在Arakawa的身邊。

Arakawa, who was born in Hawaii, studied as a concert pianist, attended the University of Southern California and met Hackman in the mid-1980s while working at a California gym.

出生於夏威夷的Arakawa在1980年代中期在加利福尼亞州的一家體育館工作時就讀於南加州大學，並在南加州大學學習了Hackman。

Hackman, one of the most admired Hollywood actors of the modern age, won two Oscars during a storied career in films including The French Connection, Hoosiers and Superman from the 1960s until his retirement in the early 2000s. The pair led a private life after moving to Santa Fe decades ago.

哈克曼（Hackman）是現代最受尊敬的好萊塢演員之一，他在電影中贏得了兩次奧斯卡獎，包括1960年代的法國連接，胡索斯和超人，直到他在2000年代初退休。幾十年前搬到聖達菲後，兩人過著私人生活。

A representative for the couple’s estate has cited privacy in seeking to block the public release of post-mortem examination conclusions and investigative reports related to their deaths, especially photographs and video. It will be up to a state district judge to consider that request.

這對夫婦遺產的一位代表引用了隱私，試圖阻止公開發布與死亡有關的驗屍結論和調查報告，尤其是照片和視頻。這將由州地方法院法官考慮這一請求。
