Hayden Panettiere: Autopsy finds no trauma after actress dies at 36
The star of TV series Heroes and Nashville was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday (Aug 16) after an acquaintance called 911.
The 36-year-old actress Hayden Panettiere died on Sunday (Aug 16) in Greenville, South Carolina, after being found unresponsive by an acquaintance who called 911 around 1:51pm. Emergency responders arrived at the scene and discovered Panettiere in cardiac arrest, administering advanced life support before pronouncing her dead at 2:32pm.
The Greenville County Coroner’s Office announced on Monday that an autopsy had been performed, finding no signs of trauma that contributed to her sudden death. The investigation remains active, with no evidence of foul play or suspicious circumstances discovered. Narcan, an opioid-overdose reversal medication, was found in the residence, along with a device to administer it, though the presence of Narcan does not establish a cause of death.
Panettiere's sudden passing occurred just three months after the release of her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, which addressed her struggles with addiction, postpartum depression, trauma, domestic abuse, and the death of her younger brother.
