Dead Hollywood star
Gene Hackman’s estate administrator wants to have investigative files blocked
There are still open questions about the death of the actor Gene Hackman and his wife. If it is after the estate administrators, some of them should remain open.
Estate administrator of the dead Hollywood star Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa, who also died, want to prevent files and records from being published on the death of the two. These included autopsy and investigative reports as well as photos and bodycam videos from the police ,.
In the person of Julia Peters, the estate administrators ask a court in the US state of Santa Fe to keep the files to protect the family of the family under closure, since photos and videos of the investigation in particular could be shocking.
She also fears that this data could go to the media and be published by them.
Files on the death of Gene Hackmann should remain under closure
According to Peters, the couple, who had not pushed themselves into public privately, underline the desire for privacy. For over 30 years, the couple “led an exemplary private life in Santa Fe, New Mexico and did not show their lifestyle,” the application said.
This is now legally checked. Amanda Lavin from the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government said that sensitive recordings of dead people, for example, would not be seen as public documents anyway. This also applies to some medical information about people.
However, the results of death investigations and autopsy reports would certainly be considered public records. Therefore, Lavin would like to refrain from withholding all data: “It would affect transparency if the court would prohibit the publication of all investigative documents, including autopsies.” She therefore describes the application of the estate administrator as “unusual”.
Gene Hackman and his wife died of this
The corpses of Hackman and Arakawa were only discovered on February 26, at that time the two were already dead for a few days. Hackman’s pacemaker stated vital signs for the last time on February 18.
According to investigators, the 95-year-old Hackman died of a heart defect as a result of his Alzheimer’s disease, his wife (65) had apparently died of the Hantavirus translated by rodents a week before him. There is public interest in this viral disease, which is why it is also a reason to publish autopsy results.
