Newly released police documents revealed what happened when officers arrived at the scene where Hayden Panettiere was found dead over the weekend, including what her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, told first responders.
The heavily redacted incident report from the Greenville City Police Department in South Carolina said a responding officer arrived as emergency medical crews were working on Panettiere, who had been found unresponsive Sunday afternoon at the Loft Apartments.
“When I arrived on scene I observed multiple EMS and Firemen performing CPR on a white female patient who appeared to be unresponsive. The patient did not seem to have any obvious physical reasons to be unresponsive,” Officer Matthew Bryan wrote in his report.
While crews were attempting life-saving measures, Bryan said he spoke to two individuals who were at the scene, brothers Brian and Zach Hickerson.
Zach Hickerson told the officer that his brother was Panettiere’s boyfriend and said the pair were the ones who called 911.

While much of the interviews with the two men were redacted, the officer said Zach Hickerson was “very emotional while EMS were working” on Panettiere.
“Brian did not become emotional until EMS declared her officially deceased,” the report stated.
Brian Hickerson also at one point showed officers a “bag of medication” he said Panettiere was on at the time, according to the report.
Police said Panettiere “was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
While an official cause of death has not yet been released, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office said it was called for a report of a “cardiac arrest.”
“First responders and Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene and located a female in cardiac arrest. EMS personnel initiated advanced cardiac life support measures; however, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, and the individual was pronounced deceased at 2:32 PM,” the coroner’s office said in a statement.
According to the medical examiner’s office, an autopsy conducted Monday showed “no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to her death.” Police said a preliminary investigation did not show “signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances.”
The cause and manner of death were “pending further investigation and the completion of additional studies.”
An investigation into her death remains ongoing, the medical examiner’s office said.
Brian and Zach Hickerson did not immediately respond to NBC News’ requests for comment following her death.
Panettiere would have turned 37 on Friday.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,” Panettiere’s father Skip said in a statement provided by the actor’s representative. “She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen. We ask for privacy as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss.”
Brian Hickerson and Panettiere’s on-again, off-again relationship has made headlines in recent years, with Hickerson serving jail time for allegations of domestic abuse.
Hickerson was sentenced to 45 days in jail in 2021 following multiple domestic violence allegations involving the “Nashville” actress.
“I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me with the hope that my story will empower others in abusive relationships to get the help they need and deserve,” Panettiere wrote on social media at the time. “I am prepared to do my part to make sure this man never hurts anyone again. I’m grateful for my support system, which helped me find the courage to regain my voice and my life.”
