New details have surfaced concerning the death of 36-year-old actress Hayden Panettiere, who passed away in Greenville, South Carolina, on August 16. Zach Hickerson, the brother of Panettiere's partner Brian Hickerson, was among those who found her unresponsive in an apartment.

He found Brian and Hayden asleep on the living room sofa. Upon attempting to wake Hayden for lunch, they discovered she was unconscious.

When we went in and tried to wake Hayden for lunch, we realized she was unconscious.

Zach Hickerson immediately called 911, while Brian administered Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdose effects. The brothers then attempted CPR, following instructions from emergency services until paramedics arrived. "We watched them do everything they could to save her life," Zach stated.

Emergency services arrived around 1:51 p.m. Panettiere was found in cardiac arrest, and resuscitation efforts continued after their arrival. She was pronounced dead shortly after 2:30 p.m. The presence of Narcan has drawn public attention, but it does not confirm an opioid overdose as the cause of death. The official cause of death remains pending, awaiting results from toxicology tests and further investigation.
