Hayden Panettiere’s on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother were in apartment when she died, with Brian showing no emotion until her death was confirmed, police report claims

Hayden Panettiere’s on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother were in the South Carolina apartment where the actress suffered a suspected fatal heart attack on Sunday, police say. 

In a newly released report from the Greenville Police Department, officers said Hickerson and his brother Zach were at the scene when the Heroes star tragically died. 

An officer at the scene said Zach was ‘very emotional’, but said Brian did not show any emotion as EMS declared his 36-year-old partner dead. 

Brian Hickerson allegedly then showed police a ‘bag of medication’ that Panettiere had been taking at the time of her death. 

The Greenville County Coroner’s Office has said Panettiere’s cause of death remains under investigation, however audio of the 911 call from her apartment showed a dispatcher described it as a ‘cardiac arrest.’ 

A dispatcher could be heard in the audio saying that Panettiere had suffered a suspected overdose, and sources told TMZ that Narcan – a nasal medication used to treat an opioid overdose – was also found on a mattress at the property.
