The estate of the late actor Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa is reportedly trying to keep the public from seeing potentially disturbing photos of the scene where they died.
Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa's estate is attempting to block the release of photos, bodycam footage, autopsy results, and investigation notes related to their deaths, citing privacy concerns and the potentially shocking nature of the images. They argue that New Mexico's open records law may prevent dissemination of sensitive images and medical details. However, some argue that transparency and potential public health concerns related to Arakawa's cause of death warrant the release of some information.
