SANTA FE, N.M.—A court on Monday blocked the release of any public records that show the bodies of Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, but said other images and documents can be disclosed.
A representative for the Hackman family estate had urged a New Mexico judge to seal photos, video and documents to protect the family’s privacy. Santa Fe-based Judge Matthew Wilson had court put a temporary hold on the release of records pending Monday’s hearing.
