A Santa Fe judge has issued a temporary restraining order against the release of pictures of the bodies of actor Gene Hackman and his wife.
A representative for the estates of the Oscar-winner and his wife Betsy Arakawa filed the request, which the court approved Monday.
A hearing on the matter has been scheduled for March 31 on whether.
The bodies of the Oscar winner and his wife were found earlier this month in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home.
Hackman died of heart disease with complications from Alzheimer’s disease about a week after a rare, rodent-borne disease took the life of his wife. The screen legend, in the advanced stages of Alzheimer’s, apparently was unaware that his wife was dead.
The issued restraining order also includes images of the interior of the couple’s home.
