Hayden Panettiere's on-and-Off Boyfriend Breaks Silence After Her Death

Brian Hickerson’s attorney said Hayden Panettiere’s death remains under investigation and police have confirmed there were no signs of foul play.

  • On August 16, actress Hayden Panettiere died at age 36 in Greenville, South Carolina. Her former partner Brian Hickerson broke his silence through attorney Sloan Ellis.
  • Panettiere reportedly reconnected with Hickerson two weeks before her death, spending time in Los Angeles before flying to South Carolina. Friends were 'always concerned' about the relationship, describing him as 'bad news.'
  • Ellis stated, 'Hayden's death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed.' Police confirmed no signs of foul play, though dispatch audio mentioned 'overdose' and 'cardiac arrest.'
  • Sources suggest Panettiere kept the reunion secret because she wasn't discussing it with friends. She leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter with former partner Wladimir Klitschko.
  • No official cause of death has been released as authorities continue their inquiry. Out of respect for the ongoing investigation, no further comments are expected from Hickerson's camp.
