Gene Hackman’s Estate Seeks to Seal Autopsy Photos, Body-Cam Footage
The estate of Gene Hackman is seeking to seal autopsy reports, photographs and other material stemming from the investigation into the couple’s deaths.
The estate of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa are seeking to block the release of autopsy reports, photographs, and other material stemming from the investigation into the couple’s deaths. Julia Peters, who represents the couple’s estate, filed a request with a Santa Fe district court to seal the records, citing Hackman’s discreet and “exemplary private life,” his family’s constitutionally protected right to grieve privately, as well as the gruesome nature of the photographs and body-cam footage of the couple’s home from when police discovered their deaths, the Associated Press reports. Details regarding Hackman’s will have also emerged, with the actor — who died a week after his wife, with heart disease and Alzheimer’s the main causes of death — leaving the entirety of his fortune to Arakawa.
