Hayden Panettiere, the actress known for her roles in *Heroes*, *Nashville*, and the *Scream* film series, died on Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina, at the age of 36. Police responded to a call about an unresponsive woman at an apartment complex, where they found Panettiere. Brian Hickerson, her former partner, and his brother Zach were present at the time and notified authorities, according to the police report. Hickerson also showed officers a bag of medications Panettiere had been taking.

On Friday, Hickerson broke his silence through a statement from his attorney, Sloan Ellis. “Hayden’s death is still under investigation, and it is important to allow the investigation to continue,” the statement read. “As publicly reported, police have confirmed there are no signs of a crime.” Ellis added that no further statements would be made “out of respect for Hayden’s family and the ongoing investigation” .

Preliminary police findings indicated no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances. However, Panettiere’s mother, Lesley Vogel, told the *Daily Mail* that a narcotics investigator had been brought into the probe following a suspected overdose . The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has since joined the multi-agency investigation, according to *TMZ*, which noted that Ellis, Hickerson’s attorney, is a former federal prosecutor with prior ties to the DEA and FBI .

Panettiere had a tumultuous history with Hickerson, whom she previously accused of abusive behavior, though reports suggested they had reconciled intermittently in recent months. She is survived by her 12-year-old daughter, born in 2014 to her former partner, retired boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko; the child has lived in Europe with her father for several years.

In May, Panettiere released a memoir detailing her struggles with alcoholism, postpartum depression, and family issues. She also publicly discussed her trauma in the *On Purpose* podcast, where she criticized Neutrogena for dropping her as a brand ambassador in 2015 after she spoke openly about postpartum depression. The cosmetics company issued its first statement on Thursday, calling Panettiere a “valued member” of its community for over a decade and expressing pride in their collaboration .
