Hayden Panettiere 911 audio revealed

The dispatcher guided Zach Hickerson through CPR and mouth-to-mouth before paramedics arrived, according to the newly released recording.

  • Newly released 911 audio from Wednesday, October 14, 2026, reveals the moments Zach Hickerson discovered actress Hayden Panettiere unresponsive at her Greenville, South Carolina, apartment on August 16.
  • An autopsy performed by a Board Certified Forensic Pathologist found no signs of trauma, and the Greenville County Coroner ruled Panettiere's death an accident caused by the "toxic effects of fentanyl" and other drugs.
  • When asked if Panettiere was breathing, Zach replied, "I don't think so," while he and his brother, Brian Hickerson, attempted to provide assistance before paramedics arrived.
  • Before emergency services arrived, Brian administered Narcan to Panettiere, and Greenville City Police Department officers responded to the residence around 1:50 p.m. local time.
  • In her 2026 memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Panettiere discussed her struggles with addiction, telling CBS News in May she hoped sharing her story would help others live their truth.
