The estate of deceased actor Gene Hackman is seeking to block the public release of autopsy and investigative reports related to the actor's death.

Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy had established each other as the personal representatives of their estates before they were both found dead on Feb. 26

Hackman, 95, and reportedly diagnosed with advanced Alzheimer’s, was found dead in his Santa Fe home seven days after Arakawa’s unexpected passing. The official cause was heart failure, but the reality is much more heartbreaking — he likely died because the person keeping him safe was suddenly no longer there.
