Welcome to Mooseport was his last movie. It had a few funny parts, but a bummer to go out on a clunker like that.
I read someplace that that movie was the reason he decided to retire from acting. He hated the role, the script, the production team. Decided why am I still doing this?

Makes sense since pills were spilled all around her. But the poor dog left in a crate or kennel. Horrible.
Would make more sense if she had consumed the pills and contacted someone to look in on the dogs the next day. I can’t imagine a dog lover leaving three dogs on their own with one confined. And one of the live ones was dutifully at her side when she was found.

Or maybe she had some sort of attack at/close to the same time.

Causes of death figured out. His wife died a week earlier and he had advanced Alzheimer’s and died after a heart episode. Sad…and very strange for both to go within a week.

If he had advanced Alzheimer's and heart issues, she may have been responsible for making sure he took his heart meds. With her passing, he most likely hadn't take his medication leading to the heart episode that took his life.

It looks like she died and he couldn't take care of himself due to alzheimers and the stress of being malnourished caused his body to just give up. It said his stomach was empty. Who knows what, if anything, he ate during that week. Pretty sad way to go for both of them.

This seems odd. How does that happen?:
Based on surveillance footage, Arakawa, 65, is believed to have died on Feb. 11. Her cause of death was ruled to be hantavirus pulmonary syndrome—a severe respiratory illness that is transmitted through rodent urine, droppings and saliva—based on lab testing.

Hantavirus is no joke. Luckily not something we have to deal with too often in the Midwest, but I know that for my family on the West Coast, living in the Sierra Nevadas, it's something they have to be very aware of.

Cameras at their house showed her letting the dog out and never letting the dog back in? I mean, I've got blink cameras around my house that'd pick that up.

Does it present like regular flu? Could you have it bad enough to die, but not bad enough to go to the doctor? It's quite possible too, that she had some dementia going on as well, which might explain why she didn't seek treatment.

Man, I guess I need to take mouse poop more seriously next time I come across it. I didn't know this was a thing, but apparently someone in Iowa died of it back in 2014. Deer mice carry it, which are pretty much everywhere.

I think the symptoms are very much like flu but you need treatment to recover.

I'm not sure. I just know that if my sister ever sees a mouse in the house, she takes it very seriously. They get rid of it/them ASAP and disinfect the heck out of baseboards, behind appliances, and anywhere they might have been

They must have been very isolated from any neighbors or family members.

Would make more sense to me if she died first. Not sure how capable he was at taking care of himself at 95.
Nailed that but I wonder if he was so far gone with the Alzheimer’s that he couldn’t leave the house or call anyone or did he choose to stay and go out his way.
