Gene Hackman's estate seeks to block release of autopsy reports, photos, and police body-cam video

Gene Hackman's estate has petitioned the court to block the release of autopsy reports, photographs, and police body-cam video captured at his home.

The partially mummified bodies of the 95-year-old actor and his wife, Betsy Arakawa , were discovered at their New Mexico property late last month .

The petition cited the potentially graphic nature of the images and video taken by responding officers, which would be widely circulated online if it became available.
