Hayden Panettiere, known for her roles on TV shows like Heroes and Nashville and films like Remember the Titans and Ice Princess, died on Aug. 16 at the age of 36. She was found unresponsive in cardiac arrest at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina. While a cause of death remains pending, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has joined the investigation, ABC News reported.
“The Greenville City Police Department in South Carolina is the lead investigative agency, but the DEA is also assisting,” ABC wrote.
The DEA has joined the investigation a day after the Greenville police released a detailed report of the scene. According to the report, two men were at the apartment, including Panettiere’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, Zach Hickerson. They called 911 after they found Panettiere unresponsive. Once responders arrived, they attempted to resuscitate her, but she was later pronounced dead at the scene.
FOX Carolina reported that in Greenville 911 dispatch audio, responders can be heard discussing a possible overdose. A potential overdose is still being investigated.
Once it was revealed that Panettiere had died, her co-stars and fellow celebrities took to social media to pay tribute to the late actress.
“I wanted to acknowledge Hayden’s passing,” Alyson Stoner, who took over the voice acting role of Kairi after Panettiere in the Kingdom Hearts video game series, said in an emotional Instagram reel. “I’ve worked with Hayden [and] I worked with Hayden’s brother Jansen, and from one Kairi to another, I just wanted to acknowledge the tremendous loss, not only for the Kingdom Hearts family but, of course, all of the close loved ones and the millions of lives that Hayden reached.”
Jack Coleman, Panettiere’s on-screen father in Heroes, also paid tribute to the star.
“I’m heartbroken,” Coleman said. “I couldn’t begin to put my thoughts into words until now, and they will be inadequate. I’ve loved Hayden since day one of the pilot of Heroes, 20 years ago, when she introduced herself by shouting ‘daddy’ and throwing her arms around me. From that day on, she called me daddio. She was Haydini, because she was a magician.”
After an autopsy report on Panettiere was completed on Monday, it was revealed that “no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death.” The investigation is still ongoing.
