- Actress Hayden Panettiere died on August 16 at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, at age 36, with no official cause of death yet released.
- Zach Hickerson, brother of Panettiere’s boyfriend Brian Hickerson, stated the pair found her unconscious and that Brian administered Narcan, the medication commonly administered to offset an opioid overdose.
- “When I left church I called and texted both of them. When I didn’t reach Brian or Hayden, I just assumed maybe they fell back asleep so I drove over and went to the Airbnb. When I got there I knew the code to the building but not the door code to the Airbnb,” Zach told TMZ.
- The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has joined local authorities in investigating Panettiere’s death and examining medications she was taking.
- Skincare brand Neutrogena issued a formal apology after facing backlash over past comments from Panettiere stating she was fired by the company in 2015 while battling postpartum depression.
