Family representatives also stated that images and videos of the body would be exploited in the media, which could jeopardize Hackman and Arakawa's name, image, and likeness. "My clients have a right of privacy for their father's death images to not be cast over the internet in perpetuity, as well as audio recordings about his decomposing body," said Greg Mackenzie, attorney for Gene Hackman's children. They brought two witnesses in. One was a New Mexico lawyer testifying previous accounts of homes being burglarized due to lael video being released to the public. The other witness was Hackman's publicist, who attested the couple valued privacy and even moved to Santa Fe for that value. Representing the defense were the Office of the Medical Investigator and the County of Santa Fe, who say public records law requires them to comply. Ultimately, the judge denied the locking request, allowing the records to be out with some conditions. "Petitioners have established the petitioner and the families of Mr. Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa Hackman would suffer irreparable injury unless the court grants a preliminary injunction," said Judge Matthew Wilson. Hackman, Arakawa, and their dog Zinna were found dead inside their home on Old Sunset Trail in Santa Fe on Feb. 26. A pest control worker arrived at the home and thought the couple was not there, so they told a security officer in the gated community. Deputies were called to the home around 1:45 p.m. and found Hackman, 95, on the floor of the home’s mudroom alongside a walking cane and sunglasses. Arakawa, 65, was found on the bathroom floor. In the bathroom closet, deputies found one of the couple’s three dogs dead inside a crate.  The medical investigation would later reveal that Arakawa died first of hantavirus. Authorities said Hackman died more than a week later of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s. It was determined that one of their dogs died of starvation and dehydration. On Monday, Judge Wilson ruled that no video or photos showing Hackman and Arakawa's bodies shall be distributed, but ultimately, audio captured on the videos is allowed. Hackman's estate and family lawyers declined to make a comment on the proceedings. The judge clarified that the lapel video would be okay to distribute if the bodies were blurred. The judge also denied blocking the release of autopsy reports, which OMI has yet to finalize. ...read more read less
