- 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.

- 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.
