Ruby Rose cryptically urges fans to 'wait for all the information' after Hayden Panettiere's death

Ruby Rose has urged fans to "wait for all the information" surrounding Hayden Panettiere's death.
The Heroes and Nashville star died aged 36 on Sunday (16.08.26) after suffering cardiac arrest following a suspected overdose, and now the former Orange Is The New Black actress has shared a cryptic message about the tragedy.
As reported by the Daily Mail newspaper Ruby, 40, wrote on her Instagram Story: "I have so much I want to say about our dear Hayden. If the roles were reversed, she would have sorted this already.
"Our brave, courageous H faced everything head on. She was fearless.
"But it is LOUD and wrong and scary out there right now. So naturally I keep calling Hayden for advice on how to handle this.
"I need more time to get this right for [Panettiere's daughter] Kaya, I also need folks to have patience. Wait for all the information."
Ruby is yet to publicly open up about the nature of her relationship with Hayden, given they never worked together, and didn't get photographed together at any major events.
Earlier this week, she posted a photo of the late star and captioned the snap: "Hayden, I am begging you. No. My friend, no! WHO do we call? What is happening?"
Hayden's cause of death is yet to be confirmed with toxicology results of an autopsy still pending, but emergency services had answered a call out to help a woman in cardiac arrest.
It's since emerged that her ex Brian Hickerson - who was previously jailed for domestic violence incidents involving the late star - and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were present during her final moments, despite the widespread belief they had split for good in 2022.
On Wednesday (19.08.26), officers from the Greenville Police Department arrived at a property in the area at around 8:20am, knocking on several doors but left after a few minutes when there was no response, Page Six reported.
A police spokesperson told People magazine: "[Officers] responded to a call for a welfare check at a home belonging to Brian Hickerson’s family on Wednesday morning. The call is unrelated to the Hayden Panettiere death investigation and did not require an incident report.”
Hayden's father Alan broke the news of her death earlier this week.
He said in a statement through her representative: "It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden.
"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."
