Mummification is the practice of keeping a dead body intact, usually by removing the internal organs and using natural or chemical treatments to stop the body from decomposing.
However, many people are perplexed by the use of the word “world” in relation to the passing of Hollywood actor Gene Hackman.
When Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, was discovered dead in their New Mexico house, her body displayed symptoms of mummification, which is why the term “mummification” is being used.
Significant dehydration had affected her hands and feet, resulting in mummified tissues that had shrunk and solidified.
The local media claims that environmental factors—likely the hot and dry circumstances in their home—were to blame for this.
