  "summary": "Wladimir Klitschko has expressed his profound shock and grief following the death of his ex-partner, Hayden Panettiere. In an emotional Instagram post, Klitschko reflected on their time together, saying that Panettiere \"left this world far too soon\" and that she had built an \"incredible career\" through her talent.\n\nKlitschko and Panettiere share an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, and although they are no longer partners, Klitschko said she remained an important part of his life. According to the BBC News, Panettiere died in Greenville, South Carolina, at the age of 36, with police stating there were no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances.\n\nThe cause of Panettiere's death has not been confirmed, but audio from police dispatchers and crews suggested they were responding to a cardiac arrest, possibly due to an overdose. Klitschko paid tribute to Panettiere, saying that \"nothing will erase the times we shared or the place she had in our lives.\"",
