The estate of Gene Hackman is seeking to seal autopsy reports, photographs and other material stemming from the investigation into the couple’s deaths.

Their wills were written 20 years ago, and the person they both selected to settle their estates died in 2019.

The estate of actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, who were found dead at their New Mexico ranch last month, has asked a court to stop sensitive images from the investigation into the couple's deaths becoming public.
