Hayden Panettiere’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were present at the South Carolina apartment where the actress passed away, as per a police report disclosed on Tuesday. A Greenville police officer arrived at the residence on Sunday afternoon and found the brothers along with paramedics administering CPR to an unresponsive woman. Despite efforts to revive her, Panettiere was pronounced dead at 2:31 p.m. No specific cause of death has been identified, and the investigation is ongoing. An autopsy revealed no signs of physical harm, and authorities ruled out foul play. Panettiere, aged 36, had a turbulent relationship with Brian Hickerson, who faced allegations of physical abuse toward her. In 2020, he faced charges of felony abuse, pleaded no contest to two counts of harming a spouse or partner, and served a brief jail term. Subsequently, he was placed on a four-year probation with requirements for anger management and Alcoholics Anonymous sessions. Hickerson recently sought to downgrade his convictions to misdemeanors, but the request was denied by a Los Angeles judge. The police report, heavily redacted, mentioned Zach Hickerson identifying the unresponsive woman as his brother’s girlfriend. Zach appeared emotional during the medical response, while Brian displayed emotions only after her death was confirmed. Following the tragic incident, Panettiere’s ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, expressed sorrow over her sudden demise, emphasizing her significance in his life as the mother of their daughter. Panettiere and Klitschko welcomed their daughter in 2014, and after their separation in 2018, Klitschko obtained full custody due to Panettiere’s struggles with addiction and postpartum depression. Panettiere, who would have turned 37 soon, candidly discussed her personal challenges in her memoir released in May. The late actress had been vocal about her early fame, addiction battles, and postpartum depression. Tributes are pouring in for Panettiere, with co-stars and industry figures expressing their grief over her untimely passing. Panettiere’s impactful career spanned from her beginnings as a child actor to her acclaimed roles in “Heroes” and “Nashville.”
