The estate is seeking to block the public release of autopsy and investigative reports, especially photographs and video.

Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy's wills have been revealed publicly. The couple had named each other as the personal representatives and recipients of their estates before they were both found dead in their home on Feb.

A Santa Fe-based contractor, who did regular construction and maintenance at the home of Hackman and Betsy Arakawa, said the 95-year-old actor recently appeared to be in good health.
