Gene Hackman’s estate attempts to block public release of autopsy

• Gene Hackman's estate is seeking to block the release of the autopsy and investigative reports related to his and wife Betsy Arakawa's deaths.
• The estate argues that releasing the reports, which may include graphic photos and video, would violate the family's privacy.
• The couple, known for their private lifestyle, were found dead in their Santa Fe home last month.
• Hackman died of heart disease complicated by Alzheimer's, while Arakawa died from hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
• While New Mexico law generally favours transparency, some information, like sensitive images and medical details, is exempt from public record.
