A 911 call obtained by CBS News revealed Brian Hickerson’s brother called authorities in a panic after finding the “Heroes” alum unresponsive in an Airbnb in South Carolina on Aug. 16. “Oh god, oh my god,” Zach — who said he had just returned from church when he found her — can be heard on the call before the dispatcher asked if Panettiere was breathing. “No, I don’t think so.” RW/MediaPunch / Shutterstock Zach Hickerson/Instagram The dispatcher instructed Zach to find a defibrillator, which he was unable to locate. He then confirmed that the actress was not breathing. “OK, we need to start CPR,” the dispatcher told Zach. “I’m going to tell you how to do CPR, OK? We’re gonna start with ventilation first.” Zach proceeded to perform the life-saving measures on Panettiere until first responders arrived and took over.

Additionally, a police report previously obtained by Page Six revealed Brian, who was involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Panettiere since 2018, gave officers a “bag of medication” she had been taking. Page Six confirmed that Panettiere died from toxic efects of 4-ANPP, fentanyl, methocarbamol alprazolam and quetiapine. Her manner of death was ruled an accident with “no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death.” Janet Mayer / Shutterstock haydenpanettiere/Instagram Hayden’s death was confirmed by her father Skip Panettiere via a statement that same day. “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,” the patriarch wrote. “We ask for privacy as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss.” Ahead of her death, Hayden was candid about her ongoing addiction to opioids and alcohol, and her journey with postpartum depression. The “Nashville” alum recalled in 2015 the “really scary” and “painful” experience after she gave birth to her and her then-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko’s now 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. “There’s a lot of misunderstanding — there’s a lot of people out there that think it’s not real, that’s it not true, that it’s something that’s made up in their minds, that, ‘Oh, it’s hormones,’ ” she shared on a vulnerable episode of “Live with Kelly and Michael.” “They brush it off. It’s something that’s completely uncontrollable. It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support.” GC Images Getty Images for amfAR Utlimately, Hayden’s battle with addiction led to her engagement with Klitschko ending in 2018, and her giving full custody of Kaya to her ex. “It was the hardest thing I ever had to do,” Hayden said in 2022, per People. “But I wanted to be a good mom to her — and sometimes that means letting them go.” If you or someone you care about is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
