New details emerge on Hayden Panettiere's death: Partner shows police medication bag

Brian Hickerson, the partner of the late American actress Hayden Panettiere, and his brother were at her apartment when she experienced a suspected fatal cardiac arrest. Police documents detail the events that transpired in the Greenville, South Carolina residence.

According to the police report from the Greenville Police Department, officers arrived to find emergency medical personnel attempting to revive Panettiere. A responding officer noted that Zach Hickerson, Brian's brother, was "very emotional" during the resuscitation efforts. Brian Hickerson, however, reportedly did not display outward emotion until his 36-year-old partner was declared deceased.

Following Panettiere's death, Brian Hickerson allegedly presented police with a "bag of medication" that the actress had been taking. The report, with significant redactions, also stated that Panettiere had no apparent physical injuries. The cause of death is currently being investigated by the Greenville County Coroner's Office.

Initial reports from the emergency call described the event as a "cardiac arrest." Sources cited by TMZ suggested a possible overdose, and Narcan, a nasal spray used to treat opioid overdoses, was reportedly found in the apartment. Panettiere and Hickerson had a tumultuous relationship, marked by multiple arrests for domestic violence against Hickerson. The actress had spoken publicly about her struggles, including alleged abuse by Hickerson, detailed in her memoir published shortly before her death. Panettiere shared an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, with her ex-partner, Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko, who has full custody.
