Mother breaks silence as new details emerge in Hayden Panettiere's death
Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend and his brother were at the apartment where the actor died over the weekend, according to a heavily redacted police report.
Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother Zach were present at the South Carolina apartment where the actress passed away over the weekend, as revealed by a police report. Panettiere, known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, tragically lost her life earlier this week. Her mother, Lesley Vogel, shared that her daughter "sadly lost her way" and expressed regret that she didn't stay true to herself, highlighting the star's many exceptional qualities.
Panettiere, who battled alcohol addiction and depression, would have turned 37 this week. The cause of her death remains under investigation, with an autopsy finding no signs of trauma and police concluding that foul play was not involved. Despite facing personal challenges, including a tumultuous relationship with her mother and a stint in rehab due to addiction, Panettiere left behind a daughter, now 11, who lives with Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
The police report, heavily redacted, states that emergency responders attempted lifesaving measures but were unable to revive Panettiere, who was found unresponsive in the apartment.
