New details are emerging following the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere.
As we previously reported, the Heroes and Nashville actress was found unresponsive at a South Carolina residence on Sunday, August 16. She was just 36 years old.
And according to a police report obtained by Page Six, Panettiere’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, told officers that she had been taking numerous medications in her final days.
Hickerson reportedly showed police a “bag of medication” that Panettiere was taking at the time of her death. The specific medications were redacted from the report.
Hickerson and his brother, Zach, were reportedly at the Judson Mill Lofts when emergency responders arrived.
Panettiere was found in cardiac arrest, and first responders attempted to revive her before she was pronounced dead at approximately 2:30 p.m.
The police report also detailed the brothers’ reactions to the emergency.
While Zach reportedly became emotional as first responders worked to save Panettiere, Brian did not appear visibly emotional until after she was pronounced dead.
Authorities have not determined Panettiere’s official cause of death. An autopsy was completed, but toxicology results are still pending.
A 911 call reportedly referenced a possible overdose, and Narcan was found at the scene. However, officials have not confirmed that an overdose caused Panettiere’s death.
There were also no visible signs of trauma, and authorities have said there is no indication of foul play at this time.
Panettiere had been open about her struggles with addiction and mental health throughout her life.
In recent years, she had spoken publicly about her efforts to rebuild her life and maintain her sobriety.
Her death has left fans and former colleagues mourning a performer who rose to fame as a child before becoming one of television’s most recognizable young stars.
For now, her loved ones are waiting for answers about what happened during her final hours.
In-fighting has already begun, with Hayden’s mom blasting Hickerson as a toxic presence in the life of her late daughter.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

As millions of fans try to make sense of the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere, the late actress’ mother has made some shocking remarks about her controversial boyfriend.
As we previously reported, Hayden and Brian Hickerson claimed that they’d broken up in 2022, but it appears that they were secretly still dating at the time of her death.
Now, Hayden’s mom, Lesley Vogel, is confirming reports that the family did not approve of that relationship.
“This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death, and that was Brian Hickerson,” Vogel told NBC News this week.
Vogel did not explicitly suggest that Hickerson was involved in her daughter’s death in any way.
But much has been made of the fact that Hayden flew from LA to South Carolina with Brian the day before her death, and she passed away in an apartment being rented to him and his brother, Zach Hickerson.
According to TMZ, witnesses say Zach became “very emotional” while emergency medical services professionals were “working on Hayden.”
Investigators have noted that there was no sign of foul play, and neither Brian nor Zach has been accused of any wrongdoing.
It’s worth noting that the feud between Brian and Lesley predates Hayden’s death by at least several months.
“Hayden’s mother is by far one of the worst people I’ve ever met in my life … I just can’t with her. She’s terrible,” he told TMZ during an interview in May.
Vogel concluded her comments by suggesting that Hollywood may have been to blame for many of the addiction and mental health issues Hayden struggled with throughout her life.
“I think Hayden was an amazingly talented person in so many departments, and I think young people who grow up in the entertainment industry — it is a struggle and it’s a very challenging industry and it’s not unusual for them to sadly find the wrong path,” she told NBC.
Hayden found success early on with her roles on Guiding Light and Heroes. But fame took a toll, as it does on many young stars.
A co-star on Hayden’s final film described her as seeming “lonely” and troubled. And while she had been open about her struggles with substance abuse, fans were under the impression that the worst was behind her.
Sadly, it seems that that may not have been the case. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

In the days since Hayden Panettiere passed away at the age of 36, there’s been a great deal of speculation about her final days and the cause of her death.
Throughout her career, Panettiere was open about her struggles with substance abuse and mental illness.
And while we do not yet know if those factors played a role in her death, one of Hayden’s costars says she was showing signs of strain while shooting her final film.
Justin Chatwin, who starred alongside Panettiere in Sleepwalker, has opened up about the experience in the wake of her tragic death.
The actor first met Hayden when she was starring on Heroes 20 years earlier, and he said she seemed “different” when they reunited for the 2025 psychological thriller.
“Hayden seemed different when I met her this time than when I met her in the early years,” Chatwin told People.
Chatwin, who also battles substance abuse issues, said he recognized some of the struggles Panettiere was experiencing.
“I’ve been sober for 15 years, so I know this world of addiction, and Hollywood — it takes, and it takes from youth,” he said.
Panettiere had been open about her past traumas, including in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.
While working on Sleepwalker, Chatwin said Panettiere opened up to him about her personal life.
“I could tell she was struggling, and I was like, ‘I don’t think it’s this movie,’” he recalled. “There’s a handful of women that I’ve worked with that I really liked, and I really loved working with her, but I also know that she was really lonely.”
Despite her struggles, Chatwin remembered Panettiere as a kind and genuine person.
“She had a beautiful heart,” he said.
The actor said he appreciated that Panettiere felt comfortable being vulnerable with him.
“I really liked spending time with her because she took that off, and she was authentic with me about her life and she opened up about her struggles with addiction,” Chatwin explained.
Panettiere’s death has left Chatwin grappling with more than grief.
“I felt sad this morning, but I feel angry,” he said. “Because I want to point a finger at something for this, and it keeps happening.”
“She was delightful and super open and we had a great time together and I’m just saddened that another one got taken down,” Chatwin added.
Panettiere’s cause of death has not yet been publicly confirmed, but a 911 dispatcher described the emergency as a “possible overdose.”
The actress, best known for Heroes and Nashville, returned to acting in recent years after stepping away from the spotlight.
Now, her final performance in Sleepwalker serves as a heartbreaking reminder of the personal battles she was still fighting behind the scenes.

The fallout from Taylor Swift and Blake Lively’s reported row impacts more than just the two of them.
We mentioned that Blake and Ryan Reynolds were not at Taylor and Travis’ wedding.
None of Taylor’s godchildren or their parents were in attendance, either. And that includes three of Blake’s kids.
According to a new report, this wasn’t about childfree nuptials. Taylor has allegedly dumped the kids alongside their parents.
‘She wanted to make a clean and total break’
It’s so sad when a friendship fallout leads to collateral damage.
RadarOnline is reporting that Taylor is no longer actively a godmother to Blake and Ryan’s children.
“It was one of the toughest decisions Taylor has ever had to make,” an alleged insider reported.
“She loves the girls and it hurt her,” the source described, “but she had no choice given the circumstances.”
The insider alleged: “She wanted to make a clean and total break.”
According to the source, Taylor made the decision to consciously uncouple from Jamez, Inez, and Betty “a few months ago.”
This difficult choice only came after she and her new husband (but then fiance) Travis Kelce had discussed the topic.
The insider alleged that Travis agreed with his now-wife that cutting ties “was the right thing to do,” even though there is (obviously) no beef with the kids.
“Right now, Taylor doesn’t feel it’s healthy or realistic to maintain a close relationship with the children while having virtually no relationship with their parents,” the source explained.
The insider added: “She hopes that once the girls are 18 and able to make their own decisions, they’ll be free to reconnect if they choose.”
Everything fell apart in late 2024
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are actually the parents of four children, not three.
In addition to daughters James, Inez, and Betty, they also have a son, Olin.
They welcomed Olin in 2023.
They and Taylor Swift only went official with the “godmother” status in 2024, with the singer jokingly referring to Ryan as “my godkids’ sperm donor.”
How tragic that, mere months later, things would fall apart so severely.
It is widely believed that, because Blake’s extended legal battle with Justin Baldoni involved mention of Taylor, this led to friction between them.
Justin’s legal arguments apparently claimed that Blake had mentioned her friendship with Taylor as if it were an unspoken threat — a friend who would have her back if she faced off with some sort of workplace creep.
The public understanding, however unconfirmed, goes on to say that Taylor felt used and felt that this was a betrayal of her friendship. It also meant that she was facing possibly having to testify in court — an inevitably sensational moment — if some awful dude’s attorney called her to the stand.
If that happens, that’s a real shame. Not only because they were such good friends, but because Taylor knows better than most what it’s like to have your own words twisted and used against you in a massive smear campaign. 2016, anyone?
Perhaps there is more to this story than what we know. Regardless, it’s a shame that it’s come between Taylor and three of her godchildren.
