Marisa¡¯s mother, Betsy, said Marisa felt unwell after being bitten by insects and went to two hospitals in London, but the hospital only prescribed some antipyretics and antibiotics, and did not allow her to be hospitalized.

Bessie believes that it was because the hospital misdiagnosed and the daughter was not arranged for hospitalization that caused her to miss the treatment time to eventually die.In addition, Bessie said that the second hospital to inspect the daughter was the nurse and not the doctor, and the nurse thought her condition was not serious enough to need hospitalization.

Marissa¡¯s death raised public concerns about the UK medical regulatory system. Currently, the hospitals involved have admitted that they committed a serious mistake and launched an internal investigation. A body examination is expected to take place within a week to determine whether her death was caused by a toxic shock caused by insect bites. It is currently unclear what kind of insect she was biting.

¡°My daughter defeated cancer (who had breast cancer and was recovering from it before she died) and died of insect bite.She was such a talented girl that the whole of Britain was crying for her,¡± Bessie said.

Recently, Marissa appeared in Romeo and Juliet in London and was preparing for another drama. Her friends said: ¡°She is talented, humble and committed to the artistic career.¡± Marissa also worked with two famous designers in Paris and later founded the company herself.

Marissa¡¯s family-owned enterprise is one of the most renowned companies in the Greek shipping industry, with a shipping history dating back to the early 20th century.

The cause of death of the Hawkman couple revealed: his wife died first infected with the Huntington virus

Investigators in New Mexico announced on March 7 that new progress has been made in the investigation into the deaths of Hollywood filmmaker Gene Hackman and his wife. According to police speculation, Hackman's wife died earlier than Hackman, after which Hackman died from cardiovascular diseases.

The Hackman couple in their youth.

According to previous reports, on February 26, the couple and one of their dogs were found dead in different rooms of their home, without any external traces of injuries.

The couple's death time may be seven days apart.

Heather Jarrell, chief forensic physician in New Mexico, said: ¡°It is unprecedented that the Office of Medical Investigation issued a public statement on the death investigation.

Jarrell said the findings showed that the couple died from natural causes, but their deaths were different, and the time of death could be a few days apart. It was also that Hackman's wife may have died seven days earlier than Hackman. According to forensic doctors, Hackman died on February 18, when his cardiac palpitator last recorded his heartbeat. The device recorded that Hackman was experiencing atrial tremors before his death, which was a manifestation of uneven heart rhythm.

At a press conference, the New Mexico County Sheriff of Santa Fe and the New Mexico Forensic Office discussed the progress of the investigation into the deaths of the Hackman couple.

According to reports, the bodies of the two were spotted through the windows by two repair workers. They immediately notified the police. After the police arrived at the scene, Hackman's body was found in the kitchen and his wife's body was found in the bathroom, and the pills were scattered nearby. The investigators, based on the condition of his wife's body and new evidence of Hackman's own heartbeat, concluded that the couple had died for days or even weeks.

At present, it is unclear whether Hackerman (before his death) knew his wife had died before. But Jarrell explained that given that Hackerman was already in late Alzheimer's disease, he was likely to not know that his wife had died.

Investigation reveals two different causes of death

Jarrell said that Hackman suffered from severe heart disease and was accompanied by high blood pressure and died of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Jarrell added that Hackman hadn¡¯t eaten for days before his death but had no symptoms of dehydration, ¡°it¡¯s not clear if he has the ability to live.¡±

Hackman's wife allegedly died of Huntington's pulmonary syndrome. Jarrell said the syndrome was caused by the Huntington virus, a rare disease that humans could infect the virus through contact with infected rodents. Although it is not clear how Hackman's wife infected the Huntington virus and eventually caused its death, she may have been ill for weeks before her death.

Jarrell said the pills found near the body of Hackman's wife were thyroid drugs prescribed to her by doctors and were not related to her death.

According to San Diego County Sheriff Adam Mendoza, the last contact with the outside was on February 11, when she had a brief email conversation with the mascot that morning and then drove to the San Diego office.

In March 2024, the couple appeared in public for the last time.

Mendoza said that between 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. on February 11th, surveillance cameras photographed Hackman¡¯s wife watching an agricultural market, a pharmacy and a pet food store in San Diego.

After exposure to infected rodents, the symptoms of the Huntington virus may take up to two months to appear, typically beginning with fatigue, fever and muscle pain. Within a few days, the symptoms develop into coughing and breathing difficulties. According to New Mexico veterinarian Irene Phillips, in the past 50 years, New Mexico has diagnosed 136 cases of Huntington virus infection, half of which lead to death.

Mendoza said that while investigators are confident they¡¯ve put together most of the couple¡¯s deaths, the investigation will continue as the authorities need to address ¡°the problem of legacy.¡±
